Recovering Intrinsic Images from a Single Image
We present an algorithm that uses multiple cues to recover shading and reflectance intrinsic images from a single image. Using both color information and a classifier trained to recognize gray-scale patterns, each image derivative is classified as being caused by shading or a change in the surface's reflectance. Generalized Belief Propagation is then used to propagate information from areas where the correct classification is clear to areas where it is ambiguous. We also show results on real images
Single View 3D Reconstruction under an Uncalibrated Camera and an Unknown Mirror Sphere
In this paper, we develop a novel self-calibration method for single view 3D reconstruction using a mirror sphere. Unlike other mirror sphere based reconstruction methods, our method needs neither the intrinsic parameters of the camera, nor the position and radius of the sphere be known. Based on eigen decomposition of the matrix representing the conic image of the sphere and enforcing a repeated eignvalue constraint, we derive an analytical solution for recovering the focal length of the camera given its principal point. We then introduce a robust algorithm for estimating both the principal point and the focal length of the camera by minimizing the differences between focal lengths estimated from multiple images of the sphere. We also present a novel approach for estimating both the principal point and focal length of the camera in the case of just one single image of the sphere. With the estimated camera intrinsic parameters, the position(s) of the sphere can be readily retrieved from the eigen decomposition(s) and a scaled 3D reconstruction follows. Experimental results on both synthetic and real data are presented, which demonstrate the feasibility and accuracy of our approach. © 2016 IEEE.postprin
Learning to Reconstruct Texture-less Deformable Surfaces from a Single View
Recent years have seen the development of mature solutions for reconstructing
deformable surfaces from a single image, provided that they are relatively
well-textured. By contrast, recovering the 3D shape of texture-less surfaces
remains an open problem, and essentially relates to Shape-from-Shading. In this
paper, we introduce a data-driven approach to this problem. We introduce a
general framework that can predict diverse 3D representations, such as meshes,
normals, and depth maps. Our experiments show that meshes are ill-suited to
handle texture-less 3D reconstruction in our context. Furthermore, we
demonstrate that our approach generalizes well to unseen objects, and that it
yields higher-quality reconstructions than a state-of-the-art SfS technique,
particularly in terms of normal estimates. Our reconstructions accurately model
the fine details of the surfaces, such as the creases of a T-Shirt worn by a
person.Comment: Accepted to 3DV 201
Learning Shape Priors for Single-View 3D Completion and Reconstruction
The problem of single-view 3D shape completion or reconstruction is
challenging, because among the many possible shapes that explain an
observation, most are implausible and do not correspond to natural objects.
Recent research in the field has tackled this problem by exploiting the
expressiveness of deep convolutional networks. In fact, there is another level
of ambiguity that is often overlooked: among plausible shapes, there are still
multiple shapes that fit the 2D image equally well; i.e., the ground truth
shape is non-deterministic given a single-view input. Existing fully supervised
approaches fail to address this issue, and often produce blurry mean shapes
with smooth surfaces but no fine details.
In this paper, we propose ShapeHD, pushing the limit of single-view shape
completion and reconstruction by integrating deep generative models with
adversarially learned shape priors. The learned priors serve as a regularizer,
penalizing the model only if its output is unrealistic, not if it deviates from
the ground truth. Our design thus overcomes both levels of ambiguity
aforementioned. Experiments demonstrate that ShapeHD outperforms state of the
art by a large margin in both shape completion and shape reconstruction on
multiple real datasets.Comment: ECCV 2018. The first two authors contributed equally to this work.
