Abstract. We present a new technique to recover the shape of an unknown smooth specular surface from a single image. A calibrated camera faces a specular surface reflecting a calib...
Humans have an amazing ability to instantly grasp the overall 3D structure of a scene – ground orientation, relative positions of major landmarks, etc – even from a single ima...
In this paper, we propose a novel method to recover the surface shape of transparent objects. The degree of polarization of the light reflected from the object surface depends on ...
The appearance of surface texture as it varies with angular changes of view and illumination is becoming an increasingly important research topic. The bidirectional texture functi...
We describe a novel device that can be used as a 2.5D
“scanner” for acquiring surface texture and shape. The device
consists of a slab of clear elastomer covered with a
refl...
