Geometry and reflectance estimation for virtualization
Pages 220 - 229
Abstract
In this paper we discuss virtual reconstruction of real scenes from photographs. In particular, we discuss extraction of the geometry of the scene from the photographs, as well as a new method for determining the reflectance properties for the virtualized objects. We then present a new method for representing view-dependant information in the reconstructed scene.

Printing reflectance functions
The reflectance function of a scene point captures the appearance of that point as a function of lighting direction. We present an approach to printing the reflectance functions of an object or scene so that its appearance is modified correctly as a ...
