2006 and earlier:
SUV Space

Photometric Invariants from Color Subspaces: Pure (specular-free) diffuse information by simple projections in color space. Applications include stereo, optical flow, shape-from-shading, segmentation, etc.

<--MOUSE OVER

Specular/Diffuse Separation

Specular/Diffuse Separation: Separating reflection components using multi-scale erosion. Applications to dichromatic editing.

Reflectance Sharing

Reflectance Sharing: Image-based rendering from a sparse set of images.

Helmholtz Stereopsis

Helmholtz Stereopsis: Recovering the shape of surfaces with non-specular, specular or arbitrary surface reflectance.



Some of this work is part of an ongoing project on appearance capture that is being funded by an NSF CAREER award. For more details, see the project page.
