  1. ECE 533 Greg Yoblin & Joseph Marino Blemish Removal Using Edge Detection and Gaussian Smoothening

  2. What is this about? • Many photographs that are taken (portraits) have blemishes that people wish to remove. • There are programs that allow for the removal of these blemishes, however the methods are tedious and very manual. Transformation done with our program

  3. What we have Added • The first major difference between our program and existing programs is that our program can be run on regions to remove multiple blemishes at once (Avoids the “eraser”-like methodologies from Photoshop, etc) • Designed to work on color and BW images. • Produces “ideal” filling information based on surrounding area to leave a minimal demarcation in the image to indicate removals • An automated blemish removal process that will scan the image and determine what things to remove on its own (future)

  4. How Does it Work? • Contrast Stretching • Perform Canny Edge detection on selected region (produces binary image) • Flood fill background to isolate “blemishes” (similar to watersheding) • Invert the binary Blemish-Mask and AND it with the original region • Fill in newly removed areas with the average background value from the region • Perform a simple (size adaptive) Gaussian Blurring on the region • Replace the region in the original image without blemishes

  5. What is Canny? • Smoothen the Image with a Gaussian Mask. • Calculate Gradients using a vertical Sobel Mask, and a horizontal Sobel Mask. Sum the values to get the final gradient. • Calculate Edge Direction using • Determine the maximum value perpendicular to the direction of the gradient. • Apply a hysteresis to eliminate edges that fall below the low, include those that are higher than the high, and decide about the ones in the middle.
