@vivek mahale, detecting the direction of light in an image is a complex task that typically involves analyzing shading, shadows, and highlights. Here are some general approaches you can take in MATLAB to estimate the light direction:
Using Shading and Shadows
If the image contains objects with noticeable shadows or shading, you can use these features to infer the light direction. The following steps outline a basic approach:
- Convert Image to Grayscale: This simplifies the analysis by focusing on intensity rather than color.
- Edge Detection: Use edge detection to identify boundaries and features in the image.
- Analyze Shading: Look for gradients in intensity that indicate the direction of light.
- Shadow Analysis: If shadows are present, the direction of the shadow can help infer the light source's direction.
