Surface gradients are useful to surface reconstruction in single view modeling, shape-from-shading, and photometric stereo. Previous algorithms minimize a complex, nonlinear energ...
—Light occlusions are one of the most significant difficulties of photometric stereo methods. When three or more images are available without occlusion, the local surface orien...
In this paper, a generative model based method for recovering both the shape and the reflectance of the surface(s) of a scene from multiple images is presented, assuming that illu...
In this paper, we first describe our approach to measuring the surface shape of specular objects and then we extend the method to measuring the surface shape of transparent object...
We present a new approach to robustly solve photometric stereo problems. We cast the problem of recovering surface normals from multiple lighting conditions as a problem of recover...
