Multi-view Shape-From-Polarization


Initial Result	Final Result

We developed a method to estimate the 3D shape of black specular object. We estimated the surface normal of the object by observing the polarization state of the light from multiple view, where the object is illuminated from whole direction. The problem that the solution is not unique if we use only the polarization analysis is solved by using the 3D shape of space carving.
