In this paper we consider the problem of computing and removing interreflections in photographs of real scenes. Towards this end, we introduce the problem of inverse light transp...

This paper develops a theory of frequency domain invariants in computer vision. We derive novel identities using spherical harmonics, which are the angular frequency domain analog ...
The image of a curved, specular (mirror-like) surface is a distorted reflection of the environment. The goal of our work is to develop a framework for recovering general shape fr...
—Cast shadows can be significant in many computer vision applications, such as lighting-insensitive recognition and surface reconstruction. Nevertheless, most algorithms neglect ...
