Photometric stereo is a technique in computer vision for estimating the surface normals of objects by observing that object under different lighting conditions. This repo is the implementation of this technique.
Dependencies can be installed using the script install_dependencies.sh:
- OpenCV
- Eigen3
- YAML-CPP
In order to build the software, run the following commands:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
There are 3 executable files : src/main_gray_data.cpp, src/main_color_data.cpp, src/face_yale.cpp, that run photometric stereo on different data types: gray data, color data and yale face data. The executable files are located in the build folder.
The variables can be change in the config.yaml file.
