DP-SfM: Dual-Pixel Structure-from-Motion without Scale Ambiguity

Multi-view 3D reconstruction, namely, structure-from-motion followed by multi-view stereo, is a fundamental component of 3D computer vision. In general, multi-view 3D reconstruction suffers from an unknown scale ambiguity unless a reference object of known size is present in the scene. In this article, we show that multi-view images captured using a dual-pixel (DP) sensor can automatically resolve the scale ambiguity, without requiring a reference object or prior calibration. Specifically, the defocus blur observed in DP images provides sufficient information to determine the absolute scale when paired with depth maps (up to scale) recovered from multi-view 3D reconstruction. Based on this observation, we develop a simple yet effective linear method to estimate the absolute scale, followed by the intensity-based optimization stage that aligns the left and right DP images by shifting them back toward each other using cross-view blur kernels. Experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach across diverse scenes captured with different cameras and lenses.

Edge-preserving Near-light Photometric Stereo with Neural Surfaces

This paper presents a near-light photometric stereo method that faithfully preserves sharp depth edges in the 3D reconstruction. Unlike previous methods that rely on finite differentiation for approximating depth partial derivatives and surface normals, we introduce an analytically differentiable neural surface in near-light photometric stereo for avoiding differentiation errors at sharp depth edges, where the depth is represented as a neural function of the image coordinates. By further formulating the Lambertian albedo as a dependent variable resulting from the surface normal and depth, our method is insusceptible to inaccurate depth initialization. Experiments on both synthetic and real-world scenes demonstrate the effectiveness of our method for detailed shape recovery with edge preservation.

Deep Photometric Stereo for Non-Lambertian Surfaces

This paper addresses the problem of photometric stereo, in both calibrated and uncalibrated scenarios, for non-Lambertian surfaces based on deep learning. We first introduce a fully convolutional deep network for calibrated photometric stereo, which we call PS-FCN. Unlike traditional approaches that adopt simplified reflectance models to make the problem tractable, our method directly learns the mapping from reflectance observations to surface normal, and is able to handle surfaces with general and unknown isotropic reflectance. At test time, PS-FCN takes an arbitrary number of images and their associated light directions as input and predicts a surface normal map of the scene in a fast feed-forward pass. To deal with the uncalibrated scenario where light directions are unknown, we introduce a new convolutional network, named LCNet, to estimate light directions from input images. The estimated light directions and the input images are then fed to PS-FCN to determine the surface normals. Our method does not require a pre-defined set of light directions and can handle multiple images in an order-agnostic manner. Thorough evaluation of our approach on both synthetic and real datasets shows that it outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both calibrated and uncalibrated scenarios.
