Abstract
The present disclosure relates to method and apparatus for removing shadows from a High Resolution (HR) image. The HR image including shadows is received. The HR image converted into Low Resolution (LR) image. LR shadow-free image is generated from the LR image using first Artificial Intelligence (AI) model. A HR shadow-free image is generated based on combination of the LR shadow-free image and the HR image using second AI model. The present disclosure provides an efficient framework and lightweight network architectures which are used to remove the shadows based on corresponding shadow characteristics. The framework can be deployed in resource-constrained platforms. The present disclosure facilitates processing selected areas of the HR image and retaining the unselected area. Thus, less computational resources are required.
