Abstract

While a user holds a camera positioned relative to an object, a first image of the object and a second image of the object, as captured by the camera, may be obtained. Intensity variations between a first intensity map of the first image and a combination intensity map obtained from the first intensity map and a second intensity map of the second image may be compared. Then, a shadow may be identified within the first image, based on the intensity variations.
