Flexible Image-Based Photometric Reconstruction using Virtual Light Sources
Photometric reconstruction is the process of estimating the illumination and surface reflectance properties of an environment, given a geometric model of the scene and a set of photographs of its surfaces. For mixed-reality applications, such data is required if synthetic objects are to be correctly illuminated or if synthetic light sources are to be used to re-light the scene. Current methods ...
متن کاملPhotometric Linearization under Near Point Light Sources
We present a method for generating linearized images that consist of only diffuse reflection from images taken under near point light sources. Previous photometric linearization method cannot work under near point light sources, since it assumes parallel light. For satisfying this assumption, our method utilizes a photometric linearization method by dividing images into small regions. It also s...
متن کاملImproved Photometric Standards and Calibration Procedures at NIST
NIST has recently established a detector-based luminous intensity unit (candela, cd), which is derived from the NIST absolute cryogenic radiometer. Subsequently, the luminous flux unit (lumen, lm) and the luminance unit (cd/m2) have been established based on the detector-based candela, and now all the NIST photometric units are tied to the cryogenic radiometer. The illuminance unit is realized ...
متن کاملGround-Based Photometric Searches for Transiting Planets
This paper reviews the basic technical characteristics of the ground-based photometric searches for transiting planets, and discusses a possible observational selection effect. I suggest that additional photometric observations of the already observed fields might discover new transiting planets with periods around 4–6 days. The set of known transiting planets support the intriguing correlation...
متن کاملOptical vortex coronagraphs on ground-based telescopes
The optical vortex coronagraph is potentially a remarkably effective device, at least for an ideal unobstructed telescope. Most groundbased telescopes however suffer from central obscuration and also have to operate through the aberrations of the turbulent atmosphere. This note analyzes the performance of the optical vortex in these circumstances and compares to some other designs, showing that...
