Blind Separation of Superimposed Shifted Images Reflections

Using

Parameterized Approximate Joint Diagonalization

Efrat Be'ery, Arie Yeredor

Demonstration of results:

1. Synthetic Mixtures: Fish & Chips

Left column: Originals

Middle Column: Mixtures (with shifts) using a non-singular mixing matrix

Right Column: Mixtures (with shifts) using a singular mixing matrix

Separation results:

Left column: "Clairvoyant" separation: using the true (un)mixing coefficients but ignoring the shifts

Middle Column: Attained separation in the case of a non-singular mixing matrix

Right Column: Attained separation using a singular mixing matrix

2. Real-life photography with reflections: Teddy-Bear

Mixtures (shifts generated by slightly tilting the reflecting window between snapshots)

Separated.

3. Real-life photography with reflections: Camera

Mixtures (shifts generated by slightly tilting the reflecting window between snapshots)

Separated.

3. Synthetic video sequences: Panoramic cross-fade
