In this paper, we proposed a two-step algorithm based on the combination of the exemplar-based algorithm and the
illumination model to deal with specular images, especially those contain saturated pixels in the highlight areas. First the
proposed modified exemplar-based algorithm is employed to process the unsaturated specular pixels under the
supervision of illumination model. Then we inpaint the rest regions in which the pixels are saturated with original
exemplar-based algorithm to obtain the final result. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm
performs better on the images with saturated pixels in the highlight areas compared with classical highlight removal and
image inpainting algorithms.
