We present a recursive algorithm for 3D surface reconstruction based on Photometric Stereo in the presence of highlights, and self and cast shadows. We assume that the surface reļ...
The invariance of the similarity measure in photometric distortions as well as its capability in producing subpixel accuracy are two desired and often required features in most st...
`Invariant regions' are image patches that automatically deform with changing viewpoint as to keep on covering identical physical parts of a scene. Such regions are then desc...
In paper industry, the measurement of paper surface topography is important for paper quality control. Noncontact and fast photometric stereo overcomes the disadvantages of the tr...
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...
