Abstract:This study proposes a method to recover 3D shape, color and specular reflections of an object from images taken by an image scanner which has multiple illuminations. The proposed method is based on the photometric stereo method and it is constructed by several processes. First is the initial shape estimation using four images, and then the color and specular component estimation are performed sequentially. Finally, we apply the non-linear least square method to estimate optimal parameters of shape, color and s… Show more
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.
