SUMMARY Water detection is important for machine vision applications such as visual inspection and robot motion planning. In this paper, we propose an approach to per-pixel water detection on unknown surfaces with a hyperspectral image. Our proposed method is based on the water spectral characteristics: water is transparent for visible light but translucent / opaque for near-infrared light and therefore the apparent near-infrared spectral re-flectance of a surface is smaller than the original one when water is present on it. Specifically, we use a linear combination of a small number of basis vector to approximate the spectral reflectance and estimate the original near-infrared reflectance from the visible reflectance (which does not depend on the presence or absence of water) to detect water. We conducted a number of experiments using real images and show that our method, which estimates near-infrared spectral reflectance based on the visible spectral re-flectance, has better performance than existing techniques.
