Abstract

In this paper we present a dense 3D reconstruction pipeline from monocular video sequences using jointly Photometric Stereo (PS) and Structure from Motion (SfM) approaches. The input videos are completely uncalibrated both from the multi-view geometry and photometric stereo aspects. In particular we make use of the 3D metric information computed with SfM from a set of 2D landmarks in order to solve for the bas-relief ambiguity which is intrinsic from dense PS surface estimation. The algorithm is evaluated over the CMU Multi-Pie database which contains the images of 337 subjects viewed under different lighting conditions and showing various facial expressions.
