Extracting Shape and Reflectance of Glossy Surfaces by Using 3D Photometric Sampling Method

The photometric sampling method [4] extracts shape and reflectance properties of surfaces (Lambertian,specular,and hybrid)by using multipleillunrinationdirectionsand asingle viewing direction. Thispaper describes a complete implementation and a performance evaluation of a three-dimensional version of the photometric sampler. The experimental conducted on Lambertian surfaces, specular surfaces, and hybrid surfaces show high accuracy in both estimated orientations as well as reflectanceparameters.
