Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for processing an image of a scene of interest includes receiving an original target image of a scene of interest at an image processing device from an image source device, the original target image exhibiting shadowing effects associated with the scene of interest when the original target image was captured, the original target image comprising a plurality of elements and representing an instantaneous state for the scene of interest, pre-processing the original target image using a modification identification algorithm to identify elements of the original target image to be modified, and generating a copy mask with a mask region representing the elements to be modified and a non-mask region representing other elements of the original target image. An image processing device for processing an image of a scene of interest and a non-transitory computer-readable medium are also provided.
