Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Texture is viewed as the result of surface roughness and the illumination geometry of a surface. It is proposed that methods based on photometric stereo are used to infer the 3D relief of each textured surface. Three possible scenarios are identified for the classification and recognition of unknown texture:1. The surface has been imaged under known geometry chosen by us. (This scenario is relevant to industrial applications where we have full control over the imaging conditions).2. The surface has been under known geometry but not chosen by us.3. We do not know the geometry under which a surface has been imaged.All three cases will be investigated, using texture descriptors that take into consideration surface gradients and colour, and in the last two cases rely on the synthesis of images of surfaces for a given imaging geometry, from the knowledge of their 3D relief. The variety of imaging geometries considered will be restricted to those that view the surface under the same scale.
