• Authors: Jiazhang Wang, Oliver Cossairt, Florian Willomitzer,
• Abstract summary: We introduce a measurement principle that utilizes a novel technique to encode and decode the information contained in a light field reflected off a specular surface. Our approach removes the unrealistic orthographic imaging assumption for SfP, which significantly improves the respective results. We showcase our new technique by demonstrating single-shot and multi-shot measurements on complex-shaped specular surfaces.

• Abstract: Accurate and fast 3D imaging of specular surfaces still poses major challenges for state-of-the-art optical measurement principles. Frequently used methods, such as phase-measuring deflectometry (PMD) or shape-from-polarization (SfP), rely on strong assumptions about the measured objects, limiting their generalizability in broader application areas like medical imaging, industrial inspection, virtual reality, or cultural heritage analysis. In this paper, we introduce a measurement principle that utilizes a novel technique to effectively encode and decode the information contained in a light field reflected off a specular surface. We combine polarization cues from SfP with geometric information obtained from PMD to resolve all arising ambiguities in the 3D measurement. Moreover, our approach removes the unrealistic orthographic imaging assumption for SfP, which significantly improves the respective results. We showcase our new technique by demonstrating single-shot and multi-shot measurements on complex-shaped specular surfaces, displaying an evaluated accuracy of surface normals below $0.6^\circ$.

  A polarization camera has great potential for 3D reconstruction since the angle of polarization (AoP) and the degree of polarization (DoP) of reflected light are related to an object's surface normal. We propose a novel 3D reconstruction method called Polarimetric Multi-View Inverse Rendering (Polarimetric MVIR) that effectively exploits geometric, photometric, and polarimetric cues extracted from input multi-view color-polarization images.

  Photometric stereo (PS) is excellent at recovering high-frequency surface details, whereas multi-view stereo (MVS) can help remove the low-frequency distortion due to PS and retain the global shape. This paper proposes an approach that can effectively utilize such complementary strengths of PS and MVS. We estimate per-pixel surface normals and depth using an uncertainty-aware deep-PS network and deep-MVS network, respectively.
