Abstract

In this paper we present a new framework for shape-from-shading which relies on a novel regularisation term which preserves surface structure. The resulting algorithm is both robust and accurate. We show that it can recover stable surface estimates from both synthetic and real world images of complex objects, even under extreme illumination.
