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

I think you should provide a clearer description of what your are trying to achieve.
The paper "Deriving intrinsic images from image sequences" shows some results with transparencies.
If you are close enough, you may be able to use the glass refraction (a la Snell's law) to detect the glass from multiple views.
I also think that reflections (specular regions) are a good indication for curved glasses.
