This state of the art report covers reconstruction methods for transparent and specular
objects or phenomena. While the 3D acquisition of opaque surfaces with Lambertian …

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 …

A surface light field is a function that assigns a color to each ray originating on a surface.
Surface light fields are well suited to constructing virtual images of shiny objects under …

We estimate surface normal maps of an object from either its diffuse or specular reflectance
using four spherical gradient illumination patterns. In contrast to traditional photometric …

We investigate the feasibility of reconstructing an arbitrarily-shaped specular scene
(refractive or mirror-like) from one or more viewpoints. By reducing shape recovery to the …

This paper presents a technique for estimating the spatially-varying reflectance properties of
a surface based on its appearance during a single pass of a linear light source. By using a …

In this paper we consider the problem of reconstructing the 3D position and surface normal
of points on an unknown, arbitrarily-shaped refractive surface. We show that two viewpoints …

The combination of the cornea of an eye and a camera viewing the eye form a catadioptric
(mirror+ lens) imaging system with a very wide field of view. We present a detailed analysis …

In recent years optical see-through head-mounted displays (OST-HMDs) have moved from
conceptual research to a market of mass-produced devices with new models and …

Objects with mirroring optical characteristics are left out of the scope of most 3D scanning
methods. We present here a new automatic acquisition approach, shape-from-distortion, that …
