Are there any methods in the computer vision literature that allows for detecting transparent glass in images? Like if I have an image of a car, can I detect windows? etc…
All methods I’ve found so far are active methods (i.e. require calibration, control over the environment or lasers). I need a passive method (i.e. all you have is an image, or multi-view images of the object and thats it).
Here is some very recent work aimed at detecting transparent objects in a general setting.
