Refining Outdoor Photometric Stereo Based on Sky Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose an outdoor photometric stereo method, which considers environmental lighting for improving the performance of surface normal estimation. In the previous methods, the sky illumination effect has been either assumed to be constant throughout the scene, or to be removed by pre-processing. This paper exploits a sky model which can derive the entire sky luminance from a sky zenith image; then, sky illumination effect on a surface can be correctly calculated by iteratively refining its normal direction. This paper also extends a two-source photometric stereo method by introducing RANSAC, so that the input images of this method can be taken in a day. Experimental results with real outdoor objects show the effectiveness of the method.

Time-Lapse Photometric Stereo and Applications
This paper presents a technique to recover geometry from time-lapse sequences of outdoor scenes. We build upon photometric stereo techniques to recover approximate shadowing, shading and normal components allowing us to alter the material and normals of the scene. Previous work in analyzing such images has faced two fundamental difficulties: 1. the illumination in outdoor images consists of tim...
متن کاملDeep Photometric Stereo on a Sunny Day
Photometric Stereo in outdoor illumination remains a challenging, ill-posed problem. Indeed, it has been shown that the scene structure cannot be recovered unambiguously from the photometric cues alone when it is lit by the sun over the course of a single day. In this paper, we present a CNN-based technique for photometric stereo on a single sunny day. We solve the ambiguity issue by combining ...

متن کاملReflectance analysis under solar illumination
The paper describes reflectance analysis of real images taken in an outdoor environment. In the past, the fundamental difficulties involved in analyzing outdoor images have prevented the use of traditional techniques for reflectance analysis such as shape from shading and photometric stereo. Those difficulties include: 1. multiple reflection components due to two light sources of different spec...
متن کاملEstimating Lighting and Geometry Information from Time-Lapse Videos via Non-Negative Matrix Factorization
To create appealing realistic visual effects, complete geometric models, lightings, and material properties of a scene are often required in film production or augmented reality. This compact representation also enables various applications in many image synthesis and editing tasks. In this paper, we introduce an iterative photometric stereo approach via non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) ...
