This paper describes a new method for estimating the illumination distribution of a real scene from a radiance distribution inside shadows cast by an object in the scene. First, t...
In Photometric stereo, the existence of specularities hampers to recover the normal map. To deal with this common reflective phenomenon, we introduce a novel representation for spe...
We explore the possibility of recognizing the surface material from a single image with unknown illumination, given the shape of the surface. Model-based PCA is used to create a lo...
Outdoor scene classification is challenging due to irregular geometry, uncontrolled illumination, and noisy reflectance distributions. This paper discusses a Bayesian approach to ...

Different materials reflect light in different ways, and reflectance
interacts with shape, lighting, and viewpoint to
determine an object’s image. Common materials exhibit dive...
