| Zusammenfassung: | This paper presents a precise, stable, and invertible reflectance model for photometric stereo. This microfacet-based model is applicable to all types of isotropic surface reflectance, covering cases from diffusion to specular reflections. We introduce a single variable to physically quantify the surface smoothness, and by monotonically sliding this variable between 0 and 1, our model enables a versatile representation that can smoothly transform between an ellipsoid of revolution and the equation for Lambertian reflectance. In the inverse domain, this model offers a compact and physically interpretable formulation, for which we introduce a fast and lightweight solver that allows accurate estimations for both surface smoothness and surface shape. Finally, extensive experiments on the appearances of synthesized and real objects evidence that this model is state-of-the-art in our off-the-shelf solution |
