Shadow removal in OpenCV 2.4.3

Question

I am using OpenCV 2.4.3 (latest version) to detect foreground from video streams using the built-in GMG algorithm. The result works fine, but I also want to remove the front shadow, in my case, the shadow of a moving person. I could not find a parameter similar to MoG's “shadow detection parameter” in opencv2.4.2 for removing shadows. I read the original article for this and found that the “Heuristic model of trust” might be useful, but still can't handle it in my code. Can anyone help? Thank you

I cannot help you directly, but I can point you to the work of Graham Finlayson , who worked a lot in the shadow of removing from color images. See for example:

• Minimizing Entropy to Remove Shadow
• About removing shadows from images
