PHOTOMETRIC IMAGE PROCESSING

Abstract:

An example method of photometric image processing may comprise: receiving a plurality of images of a three-dimensional object, wherein the plurality of images has been acquired by a plurality of cameras using a plurality of illumination and polarization patterns; performing color calibration of the plurality of images to produce a plurality of color-calibrated images; generating, using the plurality of color-calibrated images, a polygonal mesh simulating geometry of the three-dimensional object; producing a plurality of partial UV maps by projecting the plurality of color-calibrated images onto the polygonal mesh; generating a plurality of masks, wherein each mask of the plurality of masks is associated with a camera of the plurality of cameras, wherein the mask defines a UV space region that is covered by a field of view of the camera; blending, using the plurality of masks, the plurality of partial UV maps; and generating one or more texture maps representing the three-dimensional object.
