Polynomial Shape from Shading
Abstract
We examine the shape from shading problem without boundary conditions as a polynomial system. This view allows, in generic cases, a complete solution for ideal polyhedral objects. For the general case we propose a semidefinite programming relaxation procedure, and an exact line search iterative procedure with a new smoothness term that favors folds at edges. We use this numerical technique to inspect shading ambiguities.
