New constraints on data-closeness and needle map consistency for shape-from-shading [PDF]
This paper makes two contributions to the problem of needle-map recovery using shape-from-shading. First, we provide a geometric update procedure which allows the image irradiance equation to be satisfied as a hard constraint.
