Try to take a snapshot through a window and you're likely to end up with a picture full of reflections and glare. But researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston may have come up with a software filter to end the problem. It employs an algorithm that recognises the glares associated with shooting photos through glass and then removes them.
In a test, offending glares were removed from 96 of 197 images gathered up from platforms like Google and Flickr. The day might not be far off when the coding is included in standard photo editing software.
