Strong lighting is common in natural scenes yet is often viewed as a nuisance for object pose estimation and tracking. In human shape and pose estimation, cast shadows can be conf...

Abstract. In this paper image-based techniques for 3D surface reconstruction are presented which are especially suitable for (but not limited to) coplanar light sources. The first...
Regularization constraints are necessary in inverse problems such as image restoration, optical flow computation or shape from shading to avoid the singularities in the solution....
In this paper, we address the problem of discovering the 3D shape of a book surface from the shading information in a scanned document image. This shapefrom-shading problem is cha...
—This paper presents a novel method for 3D surface reconstruction that uses polarization and shading information from two views. The method relies on the polarization data acquir...
