This paper describes a method that can improve the visibility of features in shadowed regions in urban aerial images while retaining non-shadowed regions and the natural tint of shadowed regions automatically. The method first calculates the posteriori probabilities of each pixel belonging to shadowed class or non-shadowed class using color features from a low frequency component image, and then compensates the intensity and saturation of each pixel in shadowed regions according to the posteriori probabilities. Experimental results indicate the effectiveness of proposed method.
