Passive specular surface measurements from virtual images of pattern boards
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a new approach for passive measurements of specular surfaces, in which the range and shape of specular surfaces are obtained from virtual images of pattern boards taken by the camera. In the approach, structured patterns displayed on two boards are acquired with a camera through the specular surface and each reflection point on the object is located geometrically using the triangulation principle without any prior knowledge of the coordinates of other reflection points. This feature enables us to obtain a high spatial resolution of detection with a high accuracy.

Computation of stereo disparity for space materials
One of the challenges facing computer vision systems used in space is the presence of specular surfaces. Such surfaces lead to several adverse effects when imaged by vision systems such as the creation of reflected “virtual” images of objects due to specular reflections, specular reflection of light from the sun and other sources, and total reflection of any projected illuminants including lase...
متن کاملAcquiring a Complete 3D Model from Specular Motion under the Illumination of Circular-Shaped Light Sources
ÐIn this work, we recover 3D models of objects with specular surfaces. An object is rotated and its continuous images are taken. Circular-shaped light sources that generate conic rays are used to illuminate the rotating object in such a way that highlighted stripes can be observed on most of the specular surfaces. Surface shapes can be computed from the motions of highlights in the continuous i...

Using more than three shading images gives more This paper proposes a new method to recover the sign of local Gaussian curvature from multiple shading images (more than three). The required information to recover the sign of Gaussian curvature is obtained by applying Principal Components Analysis (PCA) to the normalized irradiance measurements. The sign of the Gaussian curvature is recovered ba...
متن کاملReconstruction of Specular Surfaces using Polarization Imaging
Traditional intensity imaging does not offer a general approach for the perception of textureless and specular reflecting surfaces. Intensity based methods for shape reconstruction of specular surfaces rely on virtual (i.e. mirrored) features moving over the surface under viewer motion. We present a novel method based on polarization imaging for shape recovery of specular surfaces. This method ...

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...
