Abstract
We propose the use of multiplexed illumination to enable the classification of visually similar objects that cannot normally be distinguished. We construct a compact red, green, blue, and near-infrared light stage and develop a method to jointly select informative illumination patterns and training a classifier that uses the resulting images. We use the light stage to model training samples and synthesize noise-accurate images that drive the training process and a time-efficient greedy pattern selection scheme. The system delivers fast, accurate classification of previously indistinguishable samples, outperforming fixed-illuminant and conventional noise-optimal patterns. This work has potential applications spanning forgery detection and quality control in agriculture and manufacturing.
