چکیده

In Photometric stereo, the existence of specularities hampers to recover the normal map. To deal with this common reflective phenomenon, we introduce a novel representation for specular reflection with a set of specular basis functions with different roughness values. This representation is suitable for any intensively or weakly specular object, and is introduced into the photometric stereo algorithm to recover both the surface shape and its reflectance properties. The reconstructed shapes and re-rendered images validate the proposed algorithm.

Extracting Shape and Reflectance of Lambertian, Specular, and Hybrid Surfaces

All existing shape extraction techniques that are based on photometric measurements rely on assumed surface reflection properties. We propose a method for determining the shape of surfaces whose reflectance properties may vary from Lambertian to specular without prior knowledge of the relative strengths of the Lambertian and specular components of reflection. The object surface is illuminated u...

An Introduction to Image-based 3D Surface Reconstruction and a Survey of Photometric Stereo Methods

1 This paper provides an introduction to photometric methods for image-based 3D shape reconstruction and a survey of photometric stereo techniques. We begin with taxonomy of active and passive shape acquisition techniques. Then we describe the methodical background of photometric 3D reconstruction, define the canonical setting of photometric stereo (Lambertian surface reflectance, parallel inci...

Specular Stereo

A glossy highlight, viewed stereoscopically, can provide information about surface shape. For example, highlights appear to lie behind convex surfaces but in front of concave ones. A highlight is a distorted, reflected image of a light source. A ray equation is developed to predict the stereo disparities generated when a point source of light is reflected in a smooth, curved surface. This equat...

Extracting Shape and Reflectance of Glossy Surfaces by Using 3D Photometric Sampling Method

The photometric sampling method [4] extracts shape and reflectance properties of surfaces (Lambertian, specular, and hybrid) by using multiple illunrination directions and a single viewing direction. This paper describes a complete implementation and a performance evaluation of a three-dimensional version of the photometric sampler. The experimental conducted on Lambertian surfaces, specular su...

Visual Estimation of Shape, Reflectance and Illumination

This work investigates one of the fundamental problems in machine vision, that of obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) digital model of a real object, from a collection of photographs. 3D computer models are a vital part of a wide range of disciplines, from the study of sculpture and architecture to archaeology, structural engineering and computer graphics. We focus on two important open question...
