Shape from Shading through Shape Evolution
In this paper, we address the shape-from-shading problem by training deep networks with synthetic images. Unlike conventional approaches that combine deep learning and synthetic imagery, we propose an approach that does not need any external shape dataset to render synthetic images. Our approach consists of two synergistic processes: the evolution of complex shapes from simple primitives, and the training of a deep network for shape-from-shading. The evolution generates better shapes guided by the network training, while the training improves by using the evolved shapes. We show that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on a shape-from-shading benchmark.

Shading-Based Shape Refinement of RGB-D Images
We present a shading-based shape refinement algorithm which uses a noisy, incomplete depth map from Kinect to help resolve ambiguities in shape-from-shading. In our framework, the partial depth information is used to ove…
Better Shading for Better Shape Recovery
The basic idea of shape from shading is to infer the shape of a surface from its shading information in a single image. Since this problem is ill-posed, a number of simplifying assumptions have been often used. However t…
