Abstract

Shape from shading is an important domain of computer vision and one of the approaches of 3D reconstruction. In this paper we propose a new method to reconstruct the surface of an object using neural networks. This approach ignores the details of the image for a big gain in noise resistance. It is based on the available boundary information of the surface of the shape to be reconstructed. We will use a neural network to evaluate the variation of the surface for a pixel based on the adjacent pixels. The small number of neurons ensures the speed of the algorithm. The approach is tested on synthetic and real images .
