The need for efficient normal integration methods is driven by several computer vision tasks
such as shape-from-shading, photometric stereo, deflectometry. In the first part of this survey …

This paper presents several new algorithms for the regularized reconstruction of a surface
from its measured gradient field. By taking a matrix-algebraic approach, we establish …

This paper presents a surface normal integration method that solves an inverse problem of
local plane fitting. Surface reconstruction from normal maps is essential in photometric …

We use a polarimetric camera to record the Stokes parameters and the degree of linear
polarization of long-wavelength infrared radiation emitted by human faces. These Stokes …

We introduce several new functionals, inspired from variational image denoising models, for
recovering a piecewise-smooth surface from a dense estimation of its normal field. In the …

The integration of surface normals for the purpose of computing the shape of a surface in 3D
space is a classic problem in computer vision. However, even nowadays it is still a …

We present a multi-view reconstruction method that combines conventional multi-view
stereo (MVS) with appearance-based normal prediction, to obtain dense and accurate 3D …

The integration of surface normals for the computation of a surface in 3D space is a classic
problem in computer vision. However, even nowadays it is still a challenging task to device a …

Cette thèse traite de la reconstruction 3D par stéréophotométrie, qui consiste à utiliser
plusieurs photographies d'une scène prises sous le même angle, mais sous différents …

The integration of surface normals is a classic problem in computer vision. Recently, an
approach to integration based on an equation of eikonal type has been proposed. A crucial …
