چکیده

The Polynomial Texture Map framework (PTM) extends the simple model of image formation from the Lambertian variant of Photometric Stereo (PST) to more general reflectances and to more complex-shaped surfaces. It forms an alternative method for apprehending object colour, albedo, and surface normals. Here we consider solving such a model in a robust version, not to date attempted for PTM, with the upshot that both shadows and specularities are identified automatically without the need for any thresholds. Instead of the linear model used in few-source PST for Lambertian surfaces, PTM adopts a higher degree polynomial model. PTM has two aims: interpolation of images for new lighting directions, and recovery of surface properties. Here we show that a robust approach is a good deal more accurate in recovering surface properties. For new-lighting interpolation, we demonstrate that a simple radial basis function interpolation can accurately interpolate specularities as well as attached and cast shadows even with a medium-sized image set, with no need for reflectance sharing across pixels or extremely large numbers of interpolation coefficients.

Specularity and Shadow Interpolation via Robust Polynomial Texture Maps

Polynomial Texture Maps (PTM) [1] form an alternative method for apprehending surface colour and albedo that extends a simple model of image formation from the Lambertian variant of Photometric Stereo (PST) to more general reflectances. Here we consider solving such a model in a robust version, not to date attempted for PTM. But the main upshot of utilizing robust regression is in the identific...

Robust Luminance and Chromaticity for Matte Regression in Polynomial Texture Mapping

Polynomial Texture Mapping (PTM) is a technique employed in a variety of settings, from museums to in-the-field image capture to multi-illuminant microscopy. It consists of illuminating the surface in question with lights from a collection of light directions, each light in turn. To date, the most accurate interpolation employed in PTM consists of two stages: a matte regression stage followed b...

Separating Diffuse and Specular Reflection Components Based-on Surface Color Ratio and Chromaticity

A method to separate diffuse and specular reflection components is presented. The method is based on color, particularly on surface color ratio and chromaticity. We define surface color ratio as an invariant to specularity, shading and shadow and use it to detect diffuse pixels. There are three principle steps in our method: diffuse pixels identification, image normalization and reflection comp...

The analysis of residuals variation and outliers to obtain robust response surface

In this paper, the main idea is to compute the robust regression model, derived by experimentation, in order to achieve a model with minimum effects of outliers and fixed variation among different experimental runs. Both outliers and nonequality of residual variation can affect the response surface parameter estimation. The common way to estimate the regression model coefficients is the ordinar...
