A Framework for Ultra High Resolution 3D Imaging
We present an imaging framework to acquire 3D surface scans at ultra high-resolutions (exceeding 600 samples per mm2 ). Our approach couples a standard structured-light setup and ...

Terrain Modeling in Synthetic Aperture Radar Images Using Shape-from-Shading
In this paper we introduce a new approach for recovering shape-from-shading (SFS) from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of the terrain. Three contributions are proposed. Firs...

Surface Tortuosity and its Application to Analyzing Cracks in Concrete
Previous studies of tortuosity were restricted to a curve in 2D or 3D. We propose several measures of surface tortuosity based on surface normals and principal curvatures, and app...

Estimating Surface Shape and Extending Known Structure using Specular Reflections
In this paper a method for shape estimation and structure extension of a surface using information from specularities is proposed. The structure of the scene is obtained from an i...

Vector Field Smoothing Via Heat Flow
In this paper, we develop a new method for recovering and smoothing fields of surface normals in shape-fromshading. We show how transform the problem of recovering surface normals...

Recovering height information from SAR images of terrain
In this paper we suggest a new approach for recovering 3-D depth from a field of surface normals. The surface normals are extracted from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images usin...

Surface acquisition from single gray-scale images
In this paper we show how a system for performing automatic surface model acquisition from single object views can be designed. The surface acquisition process is a two step one. ...

Resolution-Enhanced Photometric Stereo
Abstract. Conventional photometric stereo has a fundamental limitation that the scale of recovered geometry is limited to the resolution of the input images. However, surfaces that...

Characterization of Human Faces under Illumination Variations Using Rank, Integrability, and Symmetry Constraints
Photometric stereo algorithms use a Lambertian reflectance model with a varying albedo field and involve the appearances of only one object. This paper extends photometric stereo a...

Line Geometry for 3D Shape Understanding and Reconstruction
We understand and reconstruct special surfaces from 3D data with line geometry methods. Based on estimated surface normals we use approximation techniques in line space to recogniz...
