Shade Removal Using Isotropic Osmosis
To solve the problem of shade removal from a given image while preserving the image geometry and texture underneath. We assume in the following constant shadows, i.e. where image intensity values inside and outside the shadow region are in relation with each other up to an (unknown) multiplicative constant.
