This paper presents a novel method for 3D surface reconstruction that uses polarization and shading information from two views. The method relies on polarization data acquired using a standard digital camera and a linear polarizer. Fresnel theory is...

Although the three light photometric stereo technique has been used in many applications, there is little published work concerned with characterizing the uncertainty of these systems due to the involvement of a number of complicating factors. This p... Read More about Examining the uncertainty of the recovered surface normal in three light photometric stereo.

Object surface recovery using a multi-light photometric stereo technique for non-Lambertian surfaces subject to shadows and specularities (2007)
Journal Article

This paper presents a new multi-light source photometric stereo system for reconstructing images of various characteristics of non-Lambertian rough surfaces with widely varying texture and specularity. Compared to the traditional three-light photomet...
