Abstract:
This paper presents a new approach to integrate the gradient field to the relative depth or height map from multiple view directions in polar coordinates. Traditional integration techniques are based on cartesian coordinates. In this approach, the surface normals are calculated by photometric stereo method. The object is illuminated by three light sources and rotated on a controlled turntable. The experimantal results of the cross section of the synthetic and real objects are feasible and promising.
