highlight removal

"Removing highlights" refers to the process of eliminating or reducing specular highlights in an image. Specular highlights are the bright spots or reflections produced by light on smooth or reflective surfaces, such as glass, metal, or oily skin. These highlights can obscure or distort underlying details in the image, affecting the accuracy of image analysis and processing. This technique is of significant importance in computer vision, as it can improve image quality, optimize visual effects, and enhance the performance of subsequent image processing tasks.
