Abstract 3D shape recovery using photometric stereo (PS) gained increasing attention in the
computer vision community in the last three decades due to its ability to recover the thinnest …

Abstract 3D reconstruction from shading information through Photometric Stereo is
considered a very challenging problem in Computer Vision. Although this technique can …

This paper presents a robust and automatic approach to photometric stereo, where the two
main components, namely surface normals and visible surfaces, are respectively optimized …

After thirty years of researching, the photometric stereo technique for 3D shape recovery still
does not provide reliable results if it is not constrained into very well-controlled scenarios. In …

We present a recursive algorithm for 3D surface reconstruction based on photometric stereo
in the presence of highlights, and self and cast shadows. We assume that the surface …

Photometric Stereo is a powerful image based 3D reconstruction technique that has recently
been used to obtain very high quality reconstructions. However, in its classic form …

We propose a method for accurate 3D shape reconstruction using uncalibrated multiview
photometric stereo. A coarse mesh reconstructed using multiview stereo is first …

Reconstructing the shape of an object from images is an important problem in computer
vision that has led to a variety of solution strategies. This survey covers photometric stereo …

While conventional calibrated photometric stereo methods assume that light intensities and
sensor exposures are known or unknown but identical across observed images, this …

We present a single-shot system to recover surface geometry of objects with spatially-
varying albedos, from images captured under a calibrated RGB photometric stereo setup …
