Abstract

Among the many techniques developed for 3D imaging, photometric stereo-imaging excels through the simplicity of the hardware required. It can be used stand-alone or in fusion with other 3D imaging techniques for applications such as 3D scanners, face recognition or surveillance applications [1], [2][2], [3][3], [4][4], [5]. In photometric stereo-imaging, the subject is illuminated by different light sources from different angles, and the surface shades created by each light source allow reconstruction of 3D information.
