Abstract:

Over the past two decades, we have seen tremendous theoretical advances in photometric methods for 3-D modeling, where we wish to reconstruct the scene geometry from observed images under varying lighting conditions. These advances now motivate us to more practical applications in industry, or even in our daily life. The first half of this talk introduces theory and algorithms in photometric stereo. The second half will cover recent advanced techniques for photometric stereo and discuss how to remove the limitations of traditional approaches.
