Compensation for specular illumination in acne patients images using median filter

Specular illumination in digital images is one of the main causes, affecting the performance of image analysis techniques. The causes of this artifact include shiny nature of the surface on which the light is falling and the intensity and distribution of light. In this paper, it is explained that ho...
