In this paper, we propose a method to estimate the reflectance property from refocused images from a light source reflected on an object. The blurred information of the light source on the surface of the object is expected to be a practical method to estimate the reflectance property, although various methods have already been proposed. Because the degree of blurred information is changed with the position of focus in the camera, we introduce a light field camera that can change the position of focus after the image is captured. In this research, we chose the refocused image where the light source is focused through the reflection on the object surface. Based on the blurred information of the focused light source, we estimate the reflectance property of the object. The estimated reflectance property is applied to inverse rendering for auto material appearance balancing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
