Localization of free 3D surfaces by the mean of photometric stereovision
Abstract
Within the framework of the analysis of 3D textured surface through image
analysis, we approach here the case of the 3D interfaces (fluid-solid) surfaces for the analysis
of the local variations of their relief. Generally, the interaction between the light and these local
variations of the relief leads to a textured images of these surfaces. Our aim here is to achieve
the feasibility of this measurement through a local relief extraction based on photometric
stereovision. The proposed approach is an original adaptation stereovision based on
photometric model to the case of free surfaces with a high degree of variation and with
Lambertian photometric behaviour .The suggested method is presented and the relevance of
this approach for that kind of surface is tested on particular shape. The results obtained are the
first step of a global study of the displacement of the local variation of this 3D free surface.
