متن کاملQuaternion-Based Albedo Recovery for Shape Reconstruction
A new quaternion based method is presented which recovers albedo for shape reconstruction from three color images for three directions of white light source. In the conventional approaches, red, green and blue components are considered separately so there is a loss of information. The albedo maps recovered are not accurate enough to recover shape. Property of quaternion is that a color can then...
متن کاملSemi-calibrated Near-Light Photometric Stereo
We tackle the nonlinear problem of photometric stereo under close-range pointwise sources, when the intensities of the sources are unknown (so-called semi-calibrated setup). A variational approach aiming at robust joint recovery of depth, albedo and intensities is proposed. The resulting nonconvex model is numerically resolved by a provably convergent alternating minimization scheme, where the ...
متن کاملEstimation of illuminant direction, albedo, and shape from shading
A robust approach to recovery of shape from shading information is presented. Assuming uniform albedo and Lambertian surface for the imaging model, we first present methods for the estimation of illuminant direction and surface albedo. The illuminant azimuth is estimated by averaging local estimates. The illuminant elevation and surface albedo are estimated from image statistics. Using the esti...
متن کاملMicrogeometry capture and RGB albedo estimation by photometric stereo without demosaicing
We present a photometric stereo-based system for retrieving the RGB albedo and the fine-scale details of an opaque surface. In order to limit specularities, the system uses a controllable diffuse illumination, which is calibrated using a dedicated procedure. In addition, we rather handle RAW, non-demosaiced RGB images, which both avoids uncontrolled operations on the sensor data and simplifies ...
