Resumen o descripción

The reconstruction of object surfaces is an important area in computer vision. This

area is directed towards the recovery of three-dimensional information of an object

placed in a scene. Most classical existing reconstruction methods assume that objects

in the scene reflect light equally in all directions. This assumption on surface

reflectance is referred as a Lambertian BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution

Function) however, Lambertian reflectance is not fulfilled for real-world objects, leading

to incorrect depth estimates. Several methods propose a partial solution taking

advantage of calibrated cameras and lights or some approximation of the surface

reflectance.

Reflectance fields are a common image-based model used for rendering the appearance

of objects with a high-degree of realism. Reflectance fields are used in a

variety of applications. For example, they are used to capture the appearance of

real-world objects with complex geometry, like human bodies, furry teddy bears, or

bonsai trees. They are also used to represent intricate distributions of light, like the

illumination from a flash light. However, despite the increasing popularity of using

reflectance fields, fast methods do not exist for acquiring them.

This thesis presents two main contributions towards reflectance field acquisition

and three-dimensional reconstruction. The first is a method for acquiring efficiently

the reflectance field data to provide the surface reflectance information. This method

introduces the use of independent component analysis, it enables fast acquisition of

the reflectance field. The prototype acquisition system consists of a pair of projector

and camera controlled by a computer. The effectiveness of the system is demonstrated

with scenes composed of different material properties where the reflectance quality is

maintained.

The second contribution is a three-dimensional reconstruction of real-world objects

placed in the scene. Three-dimensional reconstruction is obtained by relating depth

estimations with reflectance fields. The reflectance field is integrated with threedimensional

reconstruction equations by considering the system setup as a stereo

system, it provides depth estimations of objects exhibiting different material properties

with high accuracy.
