Estimating the illumination and the reflectance properties
of an object surface from a sparse set of images is an
important but inherently ill-posed problem. The problem
becomes...

In this paper, we present a new method to change the illumination condition of a face image, with unknown face geometry and albedo information. This problem is particularly diffic...

We prove that the set of all Lambertian reflectance functions (the mapping from surface normals to intensities) obtained with arbitrary distant light sources lies close to a 9D lin...
The notion of a virtual sensor for optimal 3D reconstruction is introduced. Instead of planar perspective images that collect many rays at a fixed viewpoint, omnivergent cameras c...
Though implicit representations of surfaces have often been used for various computer graphics tasks like modeling and morphing of objects, it has rarely been used for registratio...
