Abstract

We present our research on new acquisition methods for reflectance properties of real-world objects. Specifically, we developed a method
for acquiring volumes of translucent, gaseous material with just a single image. Furthermore, we investigated how two well known techniques
synthetic aperture confocal imaging and algorithmic descattering can be combined to help looking through a translucent medium like fog or murky
water. Finally, we present a system which recovers surface geometry, reflectance properties of opaque objects, and prevailing lighting conditions
at the time of image capture from just a small number of input photographs. While there exist previous approaches to recover reflectance properties,
our system is the first to work on images taken under almost arbitrary, changing lighting conditions. This enables us to use images we took from a community
photo collection website.
