Abstract
Broadly speaking, embodiments of the present techniques provide methods for performing shadow detection and/or removal in images. In particular, the present techniques provide a computer-implemented method for generating a synthetic training dataset for training a machine learning, ML, model using federated learning to perform shadow detection (and optionally removal), and methods for training the ML model using the generated training dataset. Advantageously, the method to generate a training dataset enables a diverse training dataset to be generated while maintaining user data privacy, where the diversity refers to the variety of scenes containing shadows.
