Under the Lambertian reflectance model, uncalibrated photometric stereo with unknown light sources is inherently ambiguous. In this paper, we consider the use of a more general re...
We present a new approach to robustly solve photometric stereo problems. We cast the problem of recovering surface normals from multiple lighting conditions as a problem of recover...
We propose a novel algorithm for uncalibrated photometric stereo. While most of previous methods rely on various assumptions on scene properties, we exploit constraints in lighting...
A set of images of a Lambertian surface under varying lighting directions defines its shape up to a three-parameter Generalized Bas-Relief (GBR) ambiguity. In this paper, we exami...

We propose a new approach called "appearance clustering" for scene analysis. The key idea in this approach is that the scene points can be clustered according to their s...
