Photometric Stereo for Dynamic Surface Orientations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a photometric stereo method for non-rigid objects of unknown and spatially varying materials. The prior art uses timemultiplexed illumination but assumes constant surface normals across several frames, fundamentally limiting the accuracy of the estimated normals. We explicitly account for time-varying surface orientations, and show that for unknown Lambertian materials, five images are sufficient to recover surface orientation in one frame. Our optimized system implementation exploits the physical properties of typical cameras and LEDs to reduce the required number of images to just three, and also facilitates frame-to-frame image alignment using standard optical flow methods, despite varying illumination. We demonstrate the system’s performance by computing surface orientations for several different moving, deforming objects.

The Irradiance Error and its Effect in Photometric Stereo
This paper discusses some essential aspects on evaluating the three-source photometric stereo method (PSM). PSM is a shading based 3D shape recovery approach that calculates a dense set of surface orientations from three input images taken by changing the illumination direction without moving the optical sensor. A subsequent step can be used to convert the surface gradients into a dense height ...

Presents a neural network approach to the problem of photometric stereo inversion of the reflectance maps of real-world objects for the purpose of estimating the 3-D attitudes of the surface patches of objects. As in the photometric stereo approach, here also the observation that there is a one-to-one mapping between the n-tuples of the photometric stereo image intensities and the orientations ...

This paper describes a system which locates and grasps parts from a pile. The system uses photometric stereo and binocular stereo as vision input tools. Photometric stereo is used to make surface orientation measurements. With this information the camera field is segmented into isolated regions of a continuous smooth surface. One of these regions is then selected as the target region. The attit...

This paper uses theory, simulation and laboratory experiment to investigate the directional filter on Kube and Pentland’s linear reflectance model which presents the image directionality as a product of the illuminant direction and surface directionality. As a result, a surface rotation is not equivalent to an image rotation if the illuminant is not rotated. It can be seen that the directional ...
متن کاملThe Dynamic Photometric Stereo Method Using a Multi-Tap CMOS Image Sensor †
The photometric stereo method enables estimation of surface normals from images that have been captured using different but known lighting directions. The classical photometric stereo method requires at least three images to determine the normals in a given scene. However, this method cannot be applied to dynamic scenes because it is assumed that the scene remains static while the required imag...
