Full textSurface reflectance modeling is an important key to scene understanding. An accurate reflectance model which is based on the laws of physics allows us to achieve realistic and physically plausible results. Using such model, a more profound knowledge about the interaction of light with objects surfaces can be established which proves crucial to variety of computer vision application. Due to high complexity of the reflectance model, the vast majority of the existing computer vision applications base their methods on simplifying assumptions such as Lambertian reflectance or uniform illumination to be able to solve their problem. However, in real world scenes, objects tend to exhibit more complex reflections (diffuse and specular) and are furthermore affected by the characteristics and chromaticity of the illuminants. In this thesis, we incorporate a more realistic reflection model in computer vision applications. To address such complex physical phenomenon, we extend the state-of-the-art object reflectance models by introducing a Multi-Illuminant Dichromatic Reflection model (MIDR). Using MIDR we are able to model and decompose the reflectance of an object with complex specularities under multiple illuminants presenting shadows and inter-reflections. We show that this permits us to perform realistic re-coloring of objects lit by colored lights, and multiple illuminants. Furthermore, we propose a “local” illuminant estimation method in order to model the scenes with non-uniform illumination (e.g., an outdoor scene with a blue sky and a yellow sun, a scene with indoor lighting combined with outdoor lighting through a window, or any other case in which two or more lights with distinct colors illuminating different parts of the scene). The proposed method takes advantage of a probabilistic and graph-based model and solves the problem by re-defining the estimation problem as an energy minimization. This method provides us with local illuminant estimations which improve greatly over state-of-the-art color constancy methods. Moreover, we captured our own multi-illuminant dataset which consists of complex scenes and illumination conditions both outdoor and in laboratory conditions. We show improvement achieved using our method over state-of-the-art methods for local illuminant estimation. We demonstrate that having a more realistic and accurate model of the scene illumination and object reflectance greatly improves the quality of many computer vision and computer graphics tasks. We show examples of improved automatic white balance, scene relighting, and object re-coloring. The proposed theory can be employed in order to improve color naming, object detection, recognition, and segmentation which are among the most popular computer vision trends.

I present a data-driven model for isotropic bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) based on acquired reflectance data. Instead of using analytic reflectance models, each BRDF is represented as a dense set of measurements. This representation allows interpolation and extrapolation in the space of acquired BRDFs to create new BRDFs. Each acquired BRDF is treated as a single high-dimensional vector taken from the space of all possible BRDFs. Both linear (subspace) and non-linear (manifold) dimensionality reduction tools are applied in an effort to discover a lower-dimensional representation that characterizes the acquired BRDFs. To complete the model, users are provided with the means for defining perceptually meaningful parametrizations that allow them to navigate in the reduced-dimension BRDF space. On the low-dimensional manifold, movement along these directions produces novel, but valid, BRDFs. By analyzing a large collection of reflectance data, I also derive two novel reflectance sampling procedures that require fewer total measurements than standard uniform sampling approaches. Using densely sampled measurements the general surface reflectance function is analyzed to determine the local signal variation at each point in the function's domain. Wavelet analysis is used to derive a common basis for all of the acquired reflectance functions, as well as a non-uniform sampling pattern that corresponds to all non-zero wavelet coefficients. Second, I show that the reflectance of an arbitrary material can be represented as a linear combination of the surface reflectance functions. Furthermore, this analysis specifies a reduced set of sampling points that permits the robust estimation of the coefficients of this linear combination.
(cont.) These procedures dramatically shorten the acquisition time for isotropic reflectance measurements.

Full textThe thesis presents an investigation of the potential of measuring plant condition from hyperspectral reflectance data. To do this, some linear methods for embedding the high dimensional hyperspectral data and to perform regression to a plant condition space have been compared. A preprocessing step that aims at normalized illumination intensity in the hyperspectral images has been conducted and some different methods for this purpose have also been compared.A large scale experiment has been conducted where tobacco plants have been grown and treated differently with respect to watering and nutrition. The treatment of the plants has served as ground truth for the plant condition. Four sets of plants have been grown one week apart and the plants have been measured at different ages up to the age of about five weeks. The thesis concludes that there is a relationship between plant treatment and their leaves' spectral reflectance, but the treatment has to be somewhat extreme for enabling a useful treatment approximation from the spectrum. CCA has been the proposed method for calculation of the hyperspectral basis that is used to embed the hyperspectral data to the plant condition (treatment) space. A preprocessing method that uses a weighted normalization of the spectrums for illumination intensity normalization is concluded to be the most powerful of the compared methods.

Near-infrared spectra (~0.90 to ~1.65 microns) were obtained for 196 main-belt and near-Earth asteroids to determine plausible meteorite parent bodies. These spectra, when coupled with previously obtained visible data, allow for a better determination of asteroid mineralogies. Over half of the observed objects have estimated diameters less than 20 k-m. Many important results were obtained concerning the compositional structure of the asteroid belt. A number of small objects near asteroid 4 Vesta were found to have near-infrared spectra similar to the eucrite and howardite meteorites, which are believed to be derived from Vesta. These asteroids appear almost certainly to be fragments of Vesta. Spectral variations between these objects are consistent with being primarily due to differences in particle size. These asteroids also tend to have stronger band depths with increasing ejection velocity from Vesta. Objects with distinctive olivine bands appear to provide definitive evidence that spectral alteration is occurring in the asteroid belt. These objects have similar band depths but appear significantly reddened relative to measured olivine samples due to their significantly higher reflectance values with increasing wavelength. The only laboratory-simulated "weathering" process that reddens the spectra but does not significantly suppress the bands is alteration by laser irradiation, which is hoped to duplicate the effects of micrometeorite bombardment. A number of plausible main-belt parent bodies were identified. These include 19 Fortuna and the CM chondrites, Eos family members with the CO chondrites and 599 Luisa with the CV chondrites. A significant fraction of S asteroids have spectral properties that range from similar to ordinary chondrites to much redder with weaker absorption bands. These objects tend to have spectra consistent with a mixture of ordinary chondrite material and metallic iron. However, other alteration processes cannot be ruled out. Asteroids with distinctive olivine bands are relatively rare. The available evidence is consistent with a scenario where, with the exception of Vesta, all differentiated bodies were either disrupted or had their mantles stripped very early in the age of the solar system. Olivine-rich metal-free fragments were then continually broken down until they almost all now fall below our current astronomical measurement limits.

In this thesis we address the problem of estimating changes in surface reflectance in hyperspectral image cubes, under unknown multiplicative and additive illumination noise. Rather than using the Empirical Line Method (ELM) or physics-based approaches, we assumed the presence of a prior reflectance image cube and ensembles of typical multiplicative and additive illumination noise vectors, and developed algorithms which estimate reflectance using this prior information. These algorithms were developed under the additional assumptions that the illumination effects were band limited to lower spatial frequencies and that the differences in the surface reflectance from the prior were small in area relative to the scene, and have defined edges. These new algorithms were named Surface Prior Information Reflectance Estimation (SPIRE) algorithms. Spatial SPIRE algorithms that employ spatial processing were developed for six cases defined by the presence or absence of the additive noise, and by whether or not the noise signals are spatially uniform or varying. These algorithms use high-pass spatial filtering to remove the noise effects. Spectral SPIRE algorithms that employ spectral processing were developed and use zero-padded Principal Components (PC) filtering to remove the illumination noise. Combined SPIRE algorithms that use both spatial and spectral processing were also developed. A Selective SPIRE technique that chooses between Combined and Spectral SPIRE reflectance estimates was developed; it maximizes estimation performance on both modified and unmodified pixels. The different SPIRE algorithms were tested on HYDICE airborne sensor hyperspectral data, and their reflectance estimates were compared to those from the physics-based ATmospheric REMoval (ATREM) and the Empirical Line Method atmospheric compensation algorithms. SPIRE algorithm performance was found to be nearly identical to the ELM ground-truth based results. SPIRE algorithms performed better than ATREM overall, and significantly better under high clouds and haze. Minimum-distance classification experiments demonstrated SPIRE's superior performance over both ATREM and ELM in cross-image supervised classification applications. The taxonomy of SPIRE algorithms was presented and suggestions were made concerning which SPIRE algorithm is recommended for various applications.

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 129-134).
Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy can provide quantitative biochemical and morphological information for the analysis of biological tissue epithelium and the detection of precancerous lesions. To investigate this, diffuse reflectance spectra were collected from adenomatous colon polyps (cancer precursors) and normal colonic tissue of patients undergoing colonoscopy. To analyze the data, an analytical model was developed based on the diffusion of light in tissue. The model was formulated in terms of the absorption and scattering properties of tissue. In the case of absorption, hemoglobin was identified as the major absorber of light, and scattering was modeled as a homogeneous of collection spherical microparticles using Mie scattering theory. The validity and accuracy of the analytical model was tested and validated on a physical tissue model (phantom) composed of polystyrene beads and hemoglobin and it was found that it is suitable for application to the tissue data. Four parameters were obtained by analyzing the tissue data using the model: hemoglobin concentration, hemoglobin oxygen saturation, effective scatterer density and size. Normal and adenoma tissue sites exhibited differences in hemoglobin concentration and effective scatterer size, in agreement with other studies which employ standard methods. These results demonstrate that diffuse reflectance can be used to obtain tissue biochemical and morphological information in vivo.

Full textHuman viewers are extremely sensitive to the appearanceof peoples faces, which makes the rendering of realistic human faces a challenging problem. Techniques for doing this have continuously been invented and evolved since more than thirty years.
This thesis makes use of recent methods within the area of image based rendering, namely the acquisition of reflectance fields from human faces. The reflectance fields are used to synthesize and realistically render models of human faces.
A shape from shading technique, assuming that human skin adheres to the Phong model, has been used to estimate surface normals. Belief propagation in graphs has then been used to enforce integrability before reconstructing the surfaces. Finally, the additivity of light has been used to realistically render the models.
The resulting models closely resemble the subjects from which they were created, and can realistically be rendered from novel directions in any illumination environment.

Full textInitially, the project focussed on quantification in samples where scattering and absorber concentration were variable. Using time resolved reflectance measurements, a series of statistical descriptors of the photon time distributions were calculated. Stepwise multilinear regression was used to formulate linear models from optimal linear combinations of the descriptors. It was found that the scattering coefficient, absorption coefficient and apparent particle diameter could be estimated to within 9, 10 and 7% of their reference values respectively.
An array of radial reflectance measurements on layered scattering/absorbing samples was made to obtain information sensitive to sub-surface changes in absorption. As an initial approach to depth-resolved quantification, classical tomographic reconstruction techniques were used. However, due to the ambiguity of the reconstruction, extremely poor estimates of the sub-surface absorption resulted. Chemometric methods were then employed for enhanced quantification. By using stepwise multilinear regression with time-resolved data, the absorption coefficient in the top region of a sample could be estimated to within 2%. However, errors in the absorption coefficient estimations deep within a sample remained high.
Further improvements in sample quantification were made by linearizing the reconstruction problem. By using a priori information about sample composition in upper regions, subsequent calibrations for lower regions were directed. Estimations of the absorption coefficient deep within a sample with hierarchical locally weighted calibration were obtainable at greater than 50% accuracy. This represented a 20% improvement at all sample depths over stepwise multilinear regression.
Confocal illumination and detection optics was also used for discriminating highly scattered photons from light, which follows a geometric path through a sample. When confocal optics were used together with information from the rising edge of time distribution, little enhancement in quantification was observed in comparison to an integrated signal. This important finding demonstrates that the confocal optical detection should be considered when imaging in scattering/absorbing media.

Humans are surprisingly good at judging the reflectance of complex surfaces even when the surfaces are viewed in isolation, contrary to the Gelb effect. We argue that textural cues are important for this task. Traditional machine vision systems, on the other hand, are incapable of recognizing reflectance properties. Estimating the reflectance of a complex surface under unknown illumination from a single image is a hard problem. Recent work in reflectance recognition has shown that certain statistics measured o an image of a surface are diagnostic of reflectance. We consider opaque surfaces with medium scale structure and spatially homogeneous reflectance properties. For such surfaces, we find that statistics of intensity histograms and histograms of filtered outputs are indicative of the diffuse surface reflectance. We compare the performance of a learning algorithm that employs these image statistics to human performance in two psychophysical experiments. In the first experiment, observers classify images of complex surfaces according to the perceived reflectance. We find that the learning algorithm rivals human performance at the classification task. In the second experiment, we manipulate the statistics of images and ask observers to provide reflectance ratings. In this case, the learning algorithm performs similarly to human observers. These findings lead us to conclude that the image statistics capture perceptually relevant information.

Humans distinguish materials such as metal, plastic, and paper effortlessly at a glance. Traditional computer vision systems cannot solve this problem at all. Recognizing surface reflectance properties from a single photograph is difficult because the observed image depends heavily on the amount of light incident from every direction. A mirrored sphere, for example, produces a different image in every environment. To make matters worse, two surfaces with different reflectance properties could produce identical images. The mirrored sphere simply reflects its surroundings, so in the right artificial setting, it could mimic the appearance of a matte ping-pong ball. Yet, humans possess an intuitive sense of what materials typically "look like" in the real world. This thesis develops computational algorithms with a similar ability to recognize reflectance properties from photographs under unknown, real-world illumination conditions. Real-world illumination is complex, with light typically incident on a surface from every direction. We find, however, that real-world illumination patterns are not arbitrary. They exhibit highly predictable spatial structure, which we describe largely in the wavelet domain. Although they differ in several respects from the typical photographs, illumination patterns share much of the regularity described in the natural image statistics literature. These properties of real-world illumination lead to predictable image statistics for a surface with given reflectance properties. We construct a system that classifies a surface according to its reflectance from a single photograph under unknown illumination. Our algorithm learns relationships between surface reflectance and certain statistics computed from the observed image.
(cont.) Like the human visual system, we solve the otherwise underconstrained inverse problem of reflectance estimation by taking advantage of the statistical regularity of illumination. For surfaces with homogeneous reflectance properties and known geometry, our system rivals human performance.

This study investigated the specular reflectance properties of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy anodized in accordance with military specification MIL-A-8625 as a function of both etch process time and anodization process potential. Both process parameters affect the specular reflectance characteristics when measured using a 660 nm, collimated diode laser source. The etch process time, when varied between 0.5 to 20 minutes, resulted in a decrease in specular reflectivity with increasing time. The anodization process potential was varied between 10 and 21 volts, with a 15 volt condition producing samples with the greatest specular reflectivity. Between the two parameters, the etch time had the greater effect. Additionally, the dependence of the incident beam angle on specular reflectivity was shown not to have a significant effect when compared to the etch process time and process potential.

Full textVeiling glare has always existed in cars, but during the last years it has been brought up as a big problem. One reason is that glossier materials are being used in car interior design. Another reason is that the customers who buy the cars are getting more quality conscious. They demand to get top quality for the high price that they pay for a car, and veiling glare problems could be regarded as “low quality”.
Veiling glare is when light hits the car interior and reflects into the windshield, causing mirror-like images in the windshield (ghost images). This can impair the driving experience in two ways. It can lower the contrast of the road scene and it may be a cluttering for the driver.
This work handles daytime veiling glare from dashboard reflectance. The purpose was to investigate the area and to see if Saab can avoid the problem with veiling glare by using virtual prototyping (see chapter 3.3.1). This has been done by examining if the light
simulation software Speos can be used to simulate and predict veiling glare, and thereby be used as a tool for better design.
Key words: Veiling glare, dashboard, windshield, Speos, virtual prototyping.
