Testing the validity of Lambert's law for micro-scale photometric stereo applied to paper substrates (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Azhar, F., Emrith, K., Pollard, S., Smith, M., Adams, G., & Simske, S. (2015, March). Testing the validity of Lambert's law for micro-scale photometric stereo applied to paper substrates. Paper presented at 10th International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications (VISIGRAPP 2015), Berlin, Germany

This paper presents an empirical study to investigate the use of photometric stereo (PS) for micro-scale 3D measurement of paper samples. PS estimates per-pixel surface orientation from images of a surface captured from the same viewpoint but under d...
