Recovery of Reflectances and Varying Illuminants from Multiple Views
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a new methodology for radiometric reconstruction from multiple images. It opens new possibilities because it allows simultaneous recovery of varying unknown illuminants (one per image), surface albedoes, and cameras’ radiometric responses. Designed to complement geometric reconstruction techniques, it only requires as input the geometry of the scene and of the cameras. Unlike photometric stereo approaches, it is not restricted to images taken from a single viewpoint. Linear and non-linear implementations in the Lambertian case are proposed; simulation results are discussed and compared to related work to demonstrate the gain in stability; and results on real images are shown.

The Radiometry of Multiple Images
We introduce a methodology for radiometric reconstruction, the simultaneous recovery of multiple illuminants and surface albedoes from multiple views, assuming that the geometry of the scene and of the cameras is known. We formulate the linear theory of multiple illuminants and show its similarities with the theory of geometric recovery of multiple views. Linear and non-linear implementations a...
متن کاملEstimation of Spectral Distribution of Scene Illuminationfrom a Single Image
This article proposes an illuminant estimation algorithm that estimates the spectral power distribution of an incident light source from a single image. The proposed illumination recovery procedure has two phases. First, the surface spectral reflectances are recovered. In this case, the surface spectral reflectances recovered are limited to the maximum achromatic region (MAR) which is the most ...
متن کاملColor Construction * Backgrounds and Illuminants: the Yin and Yang of Color Constancy
Over a wide range of viewing conditions, our experience of an object’s color varies little. This “color constancy” is a striking achievement of human vision, and raises a much-debated question: What is the proper theoretical framework for understanding color constancy? Several approaches have been considered. The most common has been to estimate the spectral composition of the illuminant, and t...
متن کاملEstimating, detecting and removing illumination in images
The response of an imaging device to a colour signal depends on the combination of the scene illuminant, surface reflectances and the device sensor sensitivities. If one is given only the device responses, it is not possible to subsequently separate the components of the colour signal, and this creates problems for many computer vision algorithms. In this thesis, we focus on the interaction bet...
متن کاملUnsupervised illuminant estimation from natural scenes: an RGB digital camera suffices.
A linear pseudo-inverse method for unsupervised illuminant recovery from natural scenes is presented. The algorithm, which uses a digital RGB camera, selects the naturally occurring bright areas (not necessarily the white ones) in natural images and converts the RGB digital counts directly into the spectral power distribution of the illuminants using a learning-based spectral procedure. Computa...
