Algorithms for Shape from Shading, Lighting Direction and Motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
A very interesting approach to the integration of several features into the process of analyzing shape may be based on [1, Theorem 2, Section 3.5] by Aloimonos and Shulman . In this study, the implementation of this approach was tested by comparing the results of three different algorithms. For applying this approach, several specific model assump-tions and situations in scene space have to be carefully considered. A dependence could be proved of the accuracy of shape results from the direction to the point light source, and from the complexity of the realized motion in 3-D space.

Facilitatory mechanisms of specular highlights in the perception of depth
We investigated whether specular highlights facilitate the perception of shape from shading in a search paradigm and how highlights interact with shading to facilitate this perception. Our results indicated that stimuli containing highlights led to shorter searching time with the dependence on the light source direction (top lights make searching faster), suggesting that highlights indeed facil...
متن کاملCoupled Lighting Direction and Shape Estimation from Single Images
This paper presents a new method for the simultaneous estimation of lighting direction and shape from shading. The method estimates the shape and the lighting direction using a two step iterative process. We assume an initial (possibly incorrect) estimate of the lighting position. A stiff deformable model is then fitted to the image, assuming this lighting position. Next, a least-squares estima...
متن کاملShape from shading in pigeons.
Light is the origin of vision. The pattern of shading reflected from object surfaces is one of several optical features that provide fundamental information about shape and surface orientation. To understand how surface and object shading is processed by birds, six pigeons were tested with differentially illuminated convex and concave curved surfaces in five experiments using a go/no-go procedu...
متن کاملThe influence of shape cues on the perception of lighting direction.
Three scene properties determine the luminances in the image of a shaded object: the material reflectance, the illuminant position, and the object's shape. Because all three properties determine the image, one cannot solve for any one property without knowing the other two. Nevertheless, people perceive consistent 3D shape and consistent lighting in shaded images; they must therefore be making ...

The human visual system has a remarkable ability to interpret smooth patterns of light and shade on a surface in terms of 3-D surface geometry. Classical studies of shape{ from{shading have assumed that surface luminance depends on the local surface orientation. This classical shading model holds, for example, on a sunny day. A common situation in which the classical model fails to hold, howeve...
