Abstract

© 2015 SPIE. When capturing a scene for surveillance, the addition of rich 3D data can dramatically improve the accuracy of object detection or face recognition. Traditional 3D techniques, such as geometric stereo, only provide a coarse grained reconstruction of the scene and are ill-suited to fine analysis. Photometric stereo is a well established technique providing dense, high-resolution, reconstructions, using active artificial illumination of an object from multiple directions to gather surface information. It is typically used indoors, at short range (
