Abstract: This paper presents a new method for the simultaneous estimation
of lighting direction and shape from shading. The method
estimates the shape and the lighting direction using a two step iterative
process. We assume an initial (possibly incorrect) estimate
of the lighting position. A stiff deformable model is then fitted to
the image, assuming this lighting position. Next, a least-squares
estimate of the lighting position is derived from the model using
the Levenberg-Marquart method. The two... (Update)

...not be known. If the lightsource direction is unknown, both lightsource and object shape is recovered, in a coupled iterative process [5]. For each improved estimate of the shape we can derive an improved estimate of the lightsource and then in turn improve our estimate of...
.... deformable models we present segmentation as well as shape estimation and tracking methods based on the integration of visual cues [16, 17, 2, 5]. Depending on the application our methods use single or multi view image sequences as input. The accurate 3D tracking of the...
