A New Image Irradiance Equation for Perspective Shape from Shading of Hybrid Surfaces

Article Preview

Abstract:

Shape from shading (SFS) is a classical and important problem in the domain of computer vision. This paper presents a new image irradiance equation for perspective SFS method to reconstruct the hybrid surfaces that have both diffuse reflection and specular reflection. The hybrid reflectance model composed of a linear combination of Oren-Nayar model and Ward model is used to express the hybrid surfaces. An imaging model incorporating near point light source, perspective camera projection and the hybrid reflectance model is established. Under this model, the image irradiance equation has been derived as a non-linear partial differential equation (PDE). The resulting PDE is associated with a static Hamilton-Jacobi (H-J) equation considering the boundary conditions. Thus, the image irradiance equation of hybrid surfaces can be solved further.
