When photographs are taken through a glass or any other semi-reflecting transparent surface, in museums, shops,
aquariums etc., we encounter undesired reflection. Reflection Removal is an ill-posed problem and is caused by
superposition of two layers namely the scene in front of camera and the scene behind the camera getting reflected
because of the semi-reflective surface. Modern day hand held Smart Devices (smartphones, tablets, phablets, etc) are
typically used for capturing scenes as they are equipped with good camera sensors and processing capabilities and we
can expect image quality to be similar to a professional camera. In this direction, we propose a novel method to reduce
reflection in images, which is an extension of Independent Component Analysis (ICA) approach, by making use of two
cameras present - a back camera (capturing actual scene) and a front facing camera. When compared to the original ICA
implementation, our method gives on an average of 10% improvement on the peak signal to noise ratio of the image.
