Color Photometric Stereo and Virtual Image Rendering Using Neural Networks

چکیده
In this paper we extend the application of neural network-based photometric stereo founded on the principle of empirical photometric stereo to color images proposing a method for computing both the normal vectors of a target object and its color reflectance coefficients. This method is able to render objects that have non-Lambert reflectance properties without using any parametric reflectance function as a reflectance model. In addition, we propose a novel neural network-based rendering method that allows the generation of realistic virtual images of an object with arbitrary light source direction and from arbitrary viewpoints based on the physical reflectance properties of the actual object and perform a comparative evaluation with approximations by existing models, the Phong model, and the Torrance–Sparrow model. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Purpose: Different views of an individuals’ image may be required for proper face recognition. Recently, discrete cosines transform (DCT) based method has been used to synthesize virtual views of an image using only one frontal image. In this work the performance of two different algorithms was examined to produce virtual views of one frontal image. Materials and Methods: Two new meth...
متن کاملNeural Photometric Stereo Reconstruction for General Reflectance Surfaces
We present a novel convolutional neural network architecture for photometric stereo (Woodham, 1980), a problem of recovering 3D object surface normals from multiple images observed under varying illuminations. Despite its long history in computer vision, the problem still shows fundamental challenges for surfaces with unknown general reflectance properties (BRDFs). Leveraging deep neural networ...

Reducing the number of colors in an image while preserving its quality, is of importance in many applications such as image analysis and compression. It also decreases memory and transmission bandwidth requirements. Moreover, classification of image colors is applicable in image segmentation and object detection and separation, as well as producing pseudo-color images. In this paper, the Kohene...

We suggest the method t o recover the 3D shape of the object by using the color image scanner which has three light sources. The photometric stereo is traditional t o recover the surface normal of the object using the multiple light sources. In this method, it usually assumes the distant light sources to make the model simple. But the light sources in the image scanner are so close t o the obje...
