Point Light Source Position Estimation From RGB-D Images by Learning Surface Attributes.
IEEE Transactions on Image Processing : a Publication of the IEEE Signal Processing Society 2017 November
Light source position (LSP) estimation is a difficult yet an important problem in computer vision. A common approach for estimating the LSP assumes Lambert's law. However, in real-world scenes, Lambert's law does not hold for all different types of surfaces. Instead of assuming all that surfaces follow Lambert's law, our approach classifies image surface segments based on their photometric and geometric surface attributes (i.e. glossy, matte, curved, and so on) and assigns weights to image surface segments based on their suitability for LSP estimation. In addition, we propose the use of the estimated camera pose to globally constrain LSP for RGB-D video sequences. Experiments on Boom and a newly collected RGB-D video data sets show that the state-of-the-art methods are outperformed by the proposed method. The results demonstrate that weighting image surface segments based on their attributes outperform the state-of-the-art methods in which the image surface segments are considered to equally contribute. In particular, by using the proposed surface weighting, the angular error for LSP estimation is reduced from 12.6° to 8.2° and 24.6° to 4.8° for Boom and RGB-D video data sets, respectively. Moreover, using the camera pose to globally constrain LSP provides higher accuracy (4.8°) compared with using single frames (8.5°).
