Abstract
Techniques and constructs can determine an albedo map and a shading map from a digital image. The albedo and shading maps can be determined based at least in part on a color-difference threshold. A color shading map can be determined based at least in part on the albedo map, and lighting coefficients determined based on the color shading map. The digital image can be adjusted based at least in part on the lighting coefficients. In some examples, respective shading maps can be produced for individual color channels of the digital image. The color shading map can be produced based at least in part on the shading maps. In some examples, a plurality of regions of the digital image can be determined, as can proximity relationships between individual regions. The albedo shading maps can be determined based at least in part on the proximity relationships.
