Shape from Shading and Polarization 2020

Target Result
We developed a method to estimate 3D shape of opaque object. A single camera and a single light is placed closely. We use polarization camera. Assuming that the shape is convex, we solved the ambiguity problem inherent in polarization-based method. We output the shape of a single-colored object with Lambertian surface.
