Abstract

We propose a technique for gloss and normal map acquisition of fine-scale specular surface details, or mesostructure. Our main goal is to provide an efficient, easily applicable, but sufficiently accurate method to acquire mesostructures. We therefore employ a setup consisting of inexpensive and accessible components, including a regular computer screen and a digital still camera. We extend the Gray code based normal map acquisition approach of Francken et al. [1] which utilizes a similar setup. The quality of the original method is retained and without requiring any extra input data we are able to extract per pixel glossiness information. In the paper we show the theoretical background of the method as well as results on real-world specular mesostructures.
