We consider the problem of reconstructing a smooth surface under constraints that have discrete ambiguities. These problems arise in areas such as shape from texture, shape from sh...
— Most recent approaches to monocular non-rigid 3D shape recovery rely on exploiting point correspondences and work best when the whole surface is well-textured. The alternative ...
The bidirectional texture function (BTF) is a 6D function that can describe textures arising from both spatially-variant surface reflectance and surface mesostructures. In this pa...

We describe a novel device that can be used as a 2.5D
“scanner” for acquiring surface texture and shape. The device
consists of a slab of clear elastomer covered with a
refl...
We propose a method for recovering the affine geometry of a dynamically textured plane from a video sequence taken by an uncalibrated, fixed, perspective camera. Some instances ...
