Abstract

The intrinsic image decomposition aims to retrieve “intrinsic” properties of
an image, such as shading and reflectance. To make it possible to quantitatively
compare different approaches to this problem in realistic settings, we present a
ground-truth dataset of intrinsic image decompositions for a variety of
real-world objects. For each object, we separate an image of it into
three components: Lambertian shading, reflectance, and specularities.
We use our dataset to quantitatively compare several
existing algorithms; we hope that this dataset will serve as a means for
evaluating future work on intrinsic images.
