Description
Summary:Image restoration has always been an ill-posed process due to the information loss. Some degradation can easily be simulated using mathematical formula. This simulation helps training data can be achieved at low cost. However, degradation as shadow is impossible to explicitly simulate by computer program. This makes dataset in the field of shadow removal become limited. This project aims to solve the shadow removal problem with low-cost dataset using deep learning methods. In this project, MaskshadowGAN unpaired shadow removal model is improved by equipping additional process to the original pipeline. Moreover, a method to attack BDRAR shadow detection model is discovered while experimenting a new unsupervised shadow removal pipeline. Finally, an application is developed for the users to interact with the shadow removal model.
