Photometric stereo using LCD displays
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper considers the problem of shape-from-shading using nearby extended light sources. The paper reviews a number of methods that employ nearby illuminants, and describes a new technique that assumes a rectangular planar nearby distributed uniform isotropic illuminant. It is shown that such a light source illuminating a small Lambertian surface patch is equivalent to a single isotropic point light source at infinity, in the absence of shadowing. A closed-form solution is given for the equivalent point light source direction in terms of the illuminant corner locations. Equivalent point light sources can be obtained for distinct illuminant patterns allowing standard photometric stereo algorithms to be used. An extension is given to the case of a rectangular planar illuminant with arbitrary radiance distribution. Experimental results are shown demonstrating the application of the theory to photometric stereo using illumination from a LCD computer monitor. Details on the photometric calibration of the illumination source and image acquisition device are provided. 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Introduction & Objective: The use of computers and monitors (displays) has been developed due to their increasing capabilities. The presence of electromagnetic fields, infrared and ul-traviolet radiations has been proven around the display, which all of them have adverse ef-fects on human health. Therefore, this study was conducted to survey and compare the mentioned variables around the disp...
متن کاملVisual gamma correction for LCD displays
An improved method for visual gamma correction is developed for LCD displays to increase the accuracy of digital colour reproduction. Rather than utilising a photometric measurement device, we use observers’ visual luminance judgements for gamma correction. Eight half tone patterns were designed to generate relative luminances from 1/9 to 8/9 for each colour channel. A psychophysical experiment...
متن کاملTemporal Properties of Liquid Crystal Displays: Implications for Vision Science Experiments
Liquid crystal displays (LCD) are currently replacing the previously dominant cathode ray tubes (CRT) in most vision science applications. While the properties of the CRT technology are widely known among vision scientists, the photometric and temporal properties of LCDs are unfamiliar to many practitioners. We provide the essential theory, present measurements to assess the temporal properties...
متن کاملSystem for Clinical Photometric Stereo Endoscopy
Photometric stereo endoscopy is a technique that captures information about the high-spatial-frequency topography of the field of view simultaneously with a conventional color image. Here we describe a system that will enable photometric stereo endoscopy to be clinically evaluated in the large intestine of human patients. The clinical photometric stereo endoscopy system consists of a commercial...
متن کاملRaytracing for Parallax 3-D Display
Automultiscopic displays deliver stereoscopic views without glasses to arbitrary positions within the viewing zone. We present such a display realized using two stacked programmable LCD dis plays. This paper considers the light-field projected from this dis play and explores how to synthesize desired light-fields from 3-D models using ray tracing. In particular, we examine the relation of sim...
