Synthesizing oil painting surface geometry from a single photograph
We present an approach to synthesize the subtle 3D relief and texture of oil painting brush strokes from a single photograph. This task is unique from traditional synthesize algor...

Refractive Shape from Light Field Distortion
Acquiring transparent, refractive objects is challenging as these kinds of objects can only be observed by analyzing the distortion of reference background patterns. We present a ...

Robust Photometric Stereo via Low-Rank Matrix Completion and Recovery
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...

Interactive normal reconstruction from a single image
We present an interactive system for reconstructing surface normals from a single image. Our approach has two complementary contributions. First, we introduce a novel shape-from-s...

Subpixel Photometric Stereo
Conventional photometric stereo recovers one normal direction per pixel of the input image. This fundamentally limits the scale of recovered geometry to the resolution of the input...

Vector Transport for Shape-from-Shading
In this paper we describe a new shape-from-shading method. We show how the parallel transport of surface normals can be used to impose curvature consistency and also to iterativel...

A Graph-Spectral Method for Surface Height Recovery
This paper describes a graph-spectral method for 3D surface integration. The algorithm takes as its input a 2D field of surface normal estimates, delivered, for instance, by a sh...

Spectral Modes of Facial Needle-Maps
Abstract. This paper presents a method to decompose a field of surface normals (needle-map). A diffusion process is used to model the flow of height information induced by a fi...
