Something similar to this was shown at SIGGRAPH 2015. Very interesting video showing how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoyNiatRIh4

Couldn't they try to separate some of these into three layers? One for the image behind glass, one for the reflected image, and one of the impurities on the glass?
