Detecting transparent glass in images

Question

Are there any methods in the computer vision literature that allows for detecting transparent glass in images? Like if I have an image of a car, can I detect windows? etc...

Answer 1

Here is some very recent work aimed at detecting transparent objects in a general setting.
