BRDF Estimation for Faces from a Sparse Dataset Using a Neural Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel five source near-infrared photometric stereo 3D face capture device. The accuracy of the system is demonstrated by a comparison with ground truth from a commercial 3D scanner. We also use the data from the five captured images to model the Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) in order to synthesise images from novel lighting directions. A comparison of these synthetic images created from modelling the BRDF using a three layer neural network, a linear interpolation method and the Lambertian model is given, which shows that the neural network proves to be the most photo-realistic.
