The reconstruction of (partially) specular object by means of deflectometric methods is a
challenging task. It has a long and fairly branched history within the metrology and machine …

We present a flexible interactive 3D morpho-kinematical modeling application for
astrophysics. Compared to other systems, our application reduces the restrictions on the …

Global or indirect illumination effects such as interreflections and subsurface scattering
severely degrade the performance of structured light-based 3D scanning. In this paper, we …

We present a novel optical setup and processing pipeline for measuring the 3D geometry
and spatially-varying surface reflectance of physical objects. Central to our design is a digital …

Algorithms for scene understanding and realistic image synthesis require accurate models
of the way real-world materials scatter light. This study describes recent work in the graphics …

Recognizing and determining the 6DOF pose of transparent objects is necessary in order for
robots to manipulate such objects. However, it is a challenging problem for computer vision …

We propose a new method named compressive structured light for recovering
inhomogeneous participating media. Whereas conventional structured light methods emit …

Today, with quality becoming increasingly important, each product requires three-
dimensional in-line quality control. On the other hand, the 3D reconstruction of transparent …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) vision plays an important role in robotics and industrial
automation, wherein the reconstruction of transparent objects poses a great challenge. In …

Even though the human eye is one of the central features of individual appearance, its
shape has so far been mostly approximated in our community with gross simplifications. In …
