This state of the art report covers reconstruction methods for transparent and specular
objects or phenomena. While the 3D acquisition of opaque surfaces with Lambertian …

VP8 is an open source video compression format supported by a consortium of technology
companies. This paper provides a technical overview of the format, with an emphasis on its …

Progress in stereo algorithm performance is quickly outpacing the ability of existing stereo
data sets to discriminate among the best-performing algorithms, motivating the need for …

Stereo correspondence methods rely on matching costs for computing the similarity of image
locations. We evaluate the insensitivity of different costs for passive binocular stereo …

We describe a novel device that can be used as a 2.5 D “scanner” for acquiring surface
texture and shape. The device consists of a slab of clear elastomer covered with a reflective …

This paper describes a photometric stereo method designed for surfaces with spatially-
varying BRDFs, including surfaces with both varying diffuse and specular properties. Our …

Depth from triangulation has traditionally been treated in a number of separate threads in
the computer vision literature, with methods like stereo, laser scanning, and coded …

We present a novel photographic technique called dual photography, which exploits
Helmholtz reciprocity to interchange the lights and cameras in a scene. With a video …

Many vision applications require precise measurement of scene radiance. The function
relating scene radiance to image intensity of an imaging system is called the camera …

When unpolarized light is reflected from a smooth dielectric surface, it becomes partially
polarized. This is due to the orientation of dipoles induced in the reflecting medium and …
