A new method for the blind separation of linear image mixtures is presented in this paper. Such mixtures often occur, when, for example, we photograph a scene through a semireflecting medium (windshield or glass). The proposed method requires two mixtures of two scenes captured under different illumination conditions. We show that the boundary values of the ratio of the two mixtures can lead to an accurate estimation of the separation matrix. The technique is very simple, fast, and reliable, as it does not depend on iterative procedures. The method effectiveness is tested on both artificially mixed images and real images.
