specular_free_transform — SPECULAR dichromatic op

使い方

Project out the illuminant direction: the part of the image a highlight cannot touch. → (H, W, 3).

I - (I.G) G for the unit illuminant colour G. Under the dichromatic model the interface term is m_s * G, so it lies entirely in the removed direction and the result is invariant to any specular term whatsoever — exactly, for any lobe shape, any strength, any spatial pattern. That is the specular-invariant subspace of Mallick et al. (2005); this operator is the projection itself, with no rotation into named channels, so it stays in RGB and composes with the rest of the family.

Use it when the shape of the specular lobe is unknown or the surface is textured — feature matching, edge detection and correlation all work in this subspace without any of the assumptions :func:specular_diffuse_split needs.

This is a projection, not a picture. The result loses one of three degrees of freedom (its component along G is exactly zero everywhere) and, for an image with negative values after black-level subtraction, keeps them. It is not a displayable “highlight-removed photo” and does not claim to be; for that, use :func:specular_diffuse_split.

Raises ValueError: image_rgb is not a valid (H, W, 3) linear RGB image (see :func:specular_diffuse_split); illuminant_rgb is not a non-zero 3-vector.
