We introduce a new data structure in the form of a light hierarchy for efficiently ray-tracing scenes with many light sources. An octree is constructed with the point light sourc...
—Imaging of objects under variable lighting directions is an important and frequent practice in computer vision, machine vision, and image-based rendering. Methods for such imagi...

Biometric authentication using mobile devices is becoming a convenient and important means to secure access to remote services such as telebanking and electronic transactions. Such...
Most of the shape from shading (SFS) algorithms have been developed under the simplifying assumptions of a Lambertian surface, an orthographic projection, and a distant light sour...
It is well known in the photometric stereo literature that uncalibrated photometric stereo, where light source strength and direction are unknown, can recover the surface geometry...
