海报摘要

In this poster, we propose a new method for removing specular reflection from multispectral dermatological images which is based on BSS using NMF. The key idea of our method is based on a first step which consists to estimate the number of sources involved, by applying a PCA, then a first version of these sources by applying an ICA to our images. We exploit this first version of the sources in a second step to initialize our NMF algorithm instead of the random initialization that is used by most of the existing methods. In order to quantify numerically the performance of our method, we also propose a new protocol to artificially mix a specular reflection image with a diffuse reflection image. The tests effected on real and artificial multispectral dermatological images have shown the good performance of our method compared to two of the most used methods.
