Abstract

In the areas of computer vision and computer graphics, analyzing information about three-dimensional objects from two-dimensional images is essential. Shape from shading is a very fundamental problem in computer vision, which uses features and patterns in images to infer the shape of the object in our viewing direction. The influence of solving this problem is significant. For example, a typical application of shape from shading is in astronomy, in which we can obtain landscape features of a planet by analyzing the information from the image we get.
