Image-based 3D model reconstruction method can use the same multi-view image sequence of the object for the generation of both the geometry model and texture map. Texture is very critical for virtual exhibition of 3D model and should be of high quality comparable to the geometry data. One problem is that the object surface may exhibit specular reflection of illuminated light. The texture extracted directly from the images can be unnatural. We propose a method for the removal of specular

The specular chromaticity is replaced by the corresponding diffuse chromaticity. We test the method on image sequences of synthetic and real objects. The diffuse image sequence can be used to generate the texture map.
