This paper presents a new approach to integrate the gradient field to the relative depth or height map from multiple view directions in polar coordinates. Traditional integration ...
This paper describes a photometric stereo method that works with a wide range of surface reflectances. Unlike previous approaches that assume simple parametric models such as Lam...
We present a self-calibrating photometric stereo method. From a set of images taken from a fixed viewpoint under different and unknown lighting conditions, our method automaticall...
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...
This paper describes a photometric stereo method designed for surfaces with spatially-varying BRDFs, including surfaces with both varying diffuse and specular properties. Our meth...

We consider the problem of reconstructing the shape of a surface with an arbitrary, spatially varying isotropic bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF), and introdu...
This paper presents a new photometric stereo method aiming to efficiently estimate BRDF and reconstruct glossy surfaces. Rough specular surfaces exhibit wide specular lobes under ...
