Many objects have smooth surfaces of a fairly uniform color, thereby exhibiting shading patterns that reveal information about its shape, an important clue to the nature of the ob...

In this paper we describe a new shape-from-shading method. We show how the parallel transport of surface normals can be used to impose curvature consistency and also to iterativel...
Resolving local ambiguities is an important issue for shape from shading (SFS). Pixel ambiguities of SFS can be eliminated by propagation approaches. However, patch ambiguities st...
The problem of efficiently finding images that are similar to a target image has attracted much attention in the image processing community and is rightly considered an informatio...

Strong lighting is common in natural scenes yet is often viewed as a nuisance for object pose estimation and tracking. In human shape and pose estimation, cast shadows can be conf...
