Abstract

Figure 1: We introduce a novel method for reconstructing fine geometry of non-Lambertian objects from passive observations under the sky. The method fully leverages the polarimetric properties of sky and sun light encoded in the reflection by the surface to recover the surface normal at each pixel.
