Determining a Depth Map using a Dual Photometric Stereo
نویسنده
چکیده
Vision is one of the most important subsystems of an intelligent robot. Without vision, a robot can repeat only one predetermined job sequence where objects are espectcd to be at predetermined places. Moreover, slight disturbances can cause unpredictable circumstances in the robot environment which might prevent the robot from continuing its job scquence. Such a robot system lacks flcxibility and robustness.

Depth Enhancement using a Scanning Fiber Optical Endoscope
The Single Fiber Scanning Endoscope (SFSE) is a miniature endoscope with unique features that promises to open new minimally invasive procedures for previously inaccessible diseases. There is a need for enhancement of depth cues and 3D measurement in procedures using monoscopic endoscopes. The SFSE uses scanning acquisition that gives it unique imaging properties which are advantageous for 3D v...
متن کاملBinocular photometric stereo acquisition and reconstruction for 3d talking head applications
In order to render a high quality, versatile 3D talking head, a stable, high frame rate AV data acquisition system is constructed. It can capture 3D position, surface orientation and albedo texture of the talking head video images along with the corresponding speech signals. The system consists of a computer controlled LED lighting subsystem; high speed stereo cameras; a microphone; and a compu...
متن کاملDepth Estimation Through a Disparity-Based Photometric Stereo
Abstract. Here we revisit a recently introduced process of relative depth estimation through the matching of photometric stereo images. By considering the general solution of the differential equation which relates surface depth to the disparity map produced by the matching process, we are able to obtain a more consistent formulation of such disparity-based approach to photometric stereo. Also,...
متن کاملBinocular Photometric Stereo
This paper considers the problem of computing scene depth from a stereo pair of cameras under a sequence of illumination directions. By integrating parallax and shading cues, we obtain both metric depth and fine surface details. Casting this problem into the filter flow framework [16], enables a convex formulation of the problem, and thus a globally optimal solution. We demonstrate high quality...
متن کاملSurface Reconstruction Using Polarization and Photometric Stereo
This paper presents a novel shape recovery technique that combines photometric stereo with polarization information. First, a set of ambiguous surface normals are estimated from polarization data. This is achieved using Fresnel theory to interpret the polarization patterns of light reflected from dielectric surfaces. The process is repeated using three different known light source positions.
