Shadows are one of the most significant difficulties of the photometric stereo method. When four or more images are available, local surface orientation is overdetermined and the s...
The idea of photometric stereo is to serially vary the direction of incident illumination on the state of the holded view point, but it can locally reconstruct only the front surf...
We consider the problem of reconstructing the shape of a surface with an arbitrary, spatially varying isotropic bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF), and introdu...
We present a novel multi-view stereo method designed
for image-based rendering that generates piecewise planar
depth maps from an unordered collection of photographs.
First a di...

We present an algorithm for performing Lambertian photometric stereo in the presence of shadows. The algorithm has three novel features. First, a fast graph cuts based method is u...
