Projection-Based Diminished Reality System

Diminished reality is a technique that provides visual convenience by virtually hiding an object. Despite that the promising advances of projection-based vision techniques provided good solutions for vision applications, there has no report of the development of diminished reality systems using projection-based vision techniques. As a first attempt, this paper proposes a projection-based diminished reality system using two essential techniques: image completion technique for removing a target object; radiometric compensation technique for seamless projection onto the target object. Potential of the proposed system is demonstrated through experiments.
