ABSTRACT
This paper presents a new neural network (NN) scheme for recovering three dimensional (3D) transparent surface. We view the transparent surface modeling, not as a separate problem, but as an extension of opaque surface modeling. The main insight of this work is we simulate transparency not only for generating visually realistic images, but for recovering the object shape. We construct a formulation of transparent surface modeling using ray tracing framework into our NN. We compared this ray tracing method, with a texture mapping method that simultaneously map the silhouette images and smooth shaded images (obtained form our NN), and textured images (obtained from the teacher image) to an initial 3D model. By minimizing the images error between the output images of our NN and the teacher images, observed in multiple views, we refine vertices position of the initial 3D model. We show that our NN can refine the initial 3D model obtained by polarization images and converge into more accurate surface.
