Description
Summary:In this paper, we propose a novel superpixel-based intrinsic image decomposition (SIID) framework for hyperspectral images. Intrinsic images are usually referred to the separation of shading and reflectance components from an input image. Considering the high dimensionality of hyperspectral images, we further decompose the shading component into the product of environment illumination and surface orientation changes, thus modeling the problem more properly. The proposed method consists of the following steps. First, we build two superpixel segmentation maps of different scales, i.e., a finer one that is oversegmented and a coarser one that is undersegmented. Based on the observation that the finer superpixel map achieves a higher segmentation accuracy, whereas the coarser superpixel map tends to reserve the objectness of the original image, we model the SIID decomposition problem in a matrix form based on the finer superpixel map and define a constraint matrix by integrating the information in the coarser superpixel map. The constraint matrix is introduced as a secondary constraint in order to make the ill-posed IID problem solvable. Finally, we transform the original decomposition problem into minimizing the Frobenius norm of the proposed matrix energy function and iteratively derive the solution. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is able to achieve a performance outperforming the state-of-the-art while making a great improvement in efficiency.
