利用文档自身对比信息,无需额外标注即可高效去除非均匀阴影。
Leveraging Contrast Information for Efficient Document Shadow Removal
- 基于文档图像内在对比度信息定位阴影区域
- 端到端训练,无需阴影掩码,去影效果更完整
- 适合需要高保真度的扫描文档修复场景
文档阴影是数字化过程中的主要障碍。由于文本和图案被阴影遮盖,文档阴影去除需专用方法。现有方法虽有一定进展,但仍依赖阴影掩码等附加信息,或在不同阴影场景下泛化能力差,常导致去影不彻底或原始内容与色调丢失。此外,这些方法往往未能充分利用原始含阴影图像中的信息。本文重新聚焦于文档图像本身所蕴含的丰富信息,提出一种基于对比表示的端到端文档去阴影方法,采用粗到精的细化策略。通过提取文档对比信息,可有效快速定位阴影形状与位置,无需额外掩码。该信息进一步融入去阴影过程,为网络去除与特征融合提供更好引导。大量定性和定量实验表明,本方法达到当前最优性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Document shadows are a major obstacle in the digitization process. Due to the dense information in text and patterns covered by shadows, document shadow removal requires specialized methods. Existing document shadow removal methods, although showing some progress, still rely on additional information such as shadow masks or lack generalization and effectiveness across different shadow scenarios. This often results in incomplete shadow removal or loss of original document content and tones. Moreover, these methods tend to underutilize the information present in the original shadowed document image. In this paper, we refocus our approach on the document images themselves, which inherently contain rich information.We propose an end-to-end document shadow removal method guided by contrast representation, following a coarse-to-fine refinement approach. By extracting document contrast information, we can effectively and quickly locate shadow shapes and positions without the need for additional masks. This information is then integrated into the refined shadow removal process, providing better guidance for network-based removal and feature fusion. Extensive qualitative and quantitative experiments show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance.
