Robust Photometric Stereo in a Scattering Medium via Low-Rank Ma...

Photometric Stereo is a popular method for 3D reconstruction from images due to its high level of details handling. However, when it is used in a scattering medium such as lakes and oceans, the recovery result will be negatively impacted by the light absorption, light scattering and the impurities in the water. In this paper, we present a new method to solve the problem of better 3D reconstruction via Low-Rank Matrix Completion and Recovery. First, we use the dark points, like shadows and darkne
