Photometric stereo aims to estimate the per-pixel surface normal map of 3D objects via changing the illuminated light directions. Prevalent methods adopt deep neural networks to extract the shading cue features and reconstruct the surface normals. However, previous methods do not consider the frequency of the surface structure, i.e., the complexity of the shape. Simply applying a trained network to all kinds of objects often leads to inter-frequency conflicts and blur in surface normal estimation. This paper presents a discrete wavelet transform-based photometric stereo network (DWTPS-Net) to handle the input photometric stereo images in both the spatial and frequency domains. In DWTPS-Net, we extract shading features from images and also decompose the images using discrete wavelet transform (DWT), which can preserve spatial information naturally, to better extract high-frequency information. We design …
