Abstract
Algorithms are developed to recover the depth and orientation maps
of a surface from its image intensities. They combine the advantages of
stereo vision and shape-from-shading (SFS) methods. These algorithms
generate dense surface depth and orientation maps accurately and
unambiguously. Previous SFS algorithms can not be directly extended to
combine stereo images because the recovery of surface depth and that of
orientation are separated in these formulations. A novel SFS algorithm
is proposed to couple the generation of the depth and orientation maps.
The formulation also ensures that the reconstructed surface depth and
its orientation are consistent. The SFS algorithm for a single image is
next extended to utilize stereo images. The correspondence over stereo
images is established simultaneously with the generation of surface
depth and orientation. An alternative approach is also suggested from
combining stereo and SFS techniques. The use of embedding techniques to
combine sparse depth measurements is discussed
