This paper proposes and describes an implementation of a photometric stereo-based technique for in vivo assessment of three-dimensional (3D) skin topography in the presence of interreflections. The proposed method illuminates skin with red, green, and blue colored lights and uses the resulting variation in surface gradients to mitigate the effects of interreflections. Experiments were carried out on Caucasian, Asian, and African American subjects to demonstrate the accuracy of our method and to validate the measurements produced by our system. Our method produced significant improvement in 3D surface reconstruction for all Caucasian, Asian, and African American skin types. The results also illustrate the differences in recovered skin topography due to the nondiffuse bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) for each color illumination used, which also concur with the existing multispectral BRDF data available for skin.

We present a compressive parallel single-pixel imaging (cPSI) method, which applies compressive sensing in the context of PSI, to achieve highly efficient light transport coefficients capture and 3D reconstruction in the presence of strong interreflections. A characteristic-based sampling strategy is introduced that has sampling frequencies with high energy and high probability. The characteristic-based sampling strategy is compared with various state-of-the-art sampling strategies, including the square, circular, uniform random, and distance-based sampling strategies.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFOptical 3D shape measurements, such as fringe projection profilometry (FPP), are popular methods for recovering the surfaces of an object. However, traditional FPP cannot be applied to measure regions that contain strong interreflections, resulting in failure in 3D shape measurement. In this study, a method based on single-pixel imaging (SI) is proposed to measure 3D shapes in the presence of interreflections.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntensity-based fringe projection profilometry (IBFPP) is used widely because of its simple structure, high robustness, and noise resilience. Most IBFPP methods assume that any scene point is illuminated by direct illumination only, but global illumination effects introduce strong biases in the reconstruction result for many real-world scenes. To solve this problem, this paper describes an efficient IBFPP method for reconstructing three-dimensional geometry in the presence of global illumination.

In this work, we propose a convolutional neural network based approach to estimate the spectral reflectance of a surface and spectral power distribution of light from a single RGB image of a V-shaped surface. Interreflections happening in a concave surface lead to gradients of RGB values over its area. These gradients carry a lot of information concerning the physical properties of the surface and the illuminant.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA 3D shape measurement method in the presence of strong interreflections is presented. Traditional optical 3D shape measurement methods such as fringe projection profilometry (FPP) cannot measure regions that contain strong interreflections, which result in 3D shape measurement failure. In the proposed method, epipolar imaging with speckle patterns is utilized to eliminate the effects of interreflections and obtain the initial 3D shape measurement result.
