A method and system generate an enhanced output image. A first image is acquired of a scene illuminated by a first illumination condition. A second image is acquired of the scene illuminated by a second illumination condition. First and second gradient images are determined from the first and second images. Orientations of gradients in the first and second gradient images are compared to produce a combined gradient image, and an enhanced output image is constructed from the combined gradient image.

A method enhances images of a naturally illuminated scene. First, a set of images Ii(x, y) is acquired of a scene. Each image is acquired under a different uncontrolled illumination. For each image Ii(x, y), intensity gradients ∇Ii(x, y) are determined, and each image is weighted with weights according to the intensity gradients. The weighted images are then combined to construct an enhanced image I′.

A method generates an image with de-emphasized textures. Each pixel in the image is classified as either a silhouette edge pixel, a texture edge pixels, or a featureless pixel. A mask image M(x, y) is generated, wherein an intensity of a given pixel (x, y) in the mask image M(x, y) is zero if the pixel (x, y) is classified as the texture edge pixel, is d(x, y) if the pixel (x, y) is classified as the featureless pixel, and is one if the pixel (x, y) is classified as the silhouette edge pixel. An intensity gradient ∇I(x, y) is determined in the masked image, and the intensity gradients in the masked image are integrated according to G(x, y)=∇I(x, y). M(x, y). Then, an output image I′ is generated by minimizing |∇I′−G|, and normalizing the intensities in the output image I′.

A camera includes a set of sensing elements. Each sensing element is arranged at an image plane in an energy field to measure a magnitude and sign of a local gradient of the energy field. Each sensing element includes at least two energy intensity sensors. Each energy sensor measures a local intensity of the energy field. Logarithms of the intensities are subtracted from each other to obtain the magnitude and sign of the gradients. A Poisson equation is solved using the gradients to obtain an output image of the energy field.

A computer implemented method stimulates motion of a static 3D physical object in a static scene by first acquiring a 3D graphics model of the 3D physical object and the scene. A projector is registered with the 3D physical object, the scene and the 3D model. The model is then segmented into a plurality of parts, and each part is edited with graphics authoring tools to reflect a desired appearance and virtual motion of the part. The edited parts are rendered and projected, in real-time, as a video onto the 3D physical object and scene to give the 3D physical object and the scene the desired appearance and virtual motion.

A system determines correspondence between locations on a display surface and pixels in an output image of a projector. The display surface can have an arbitrary shape and pose. Locations of known coordinates are identified on the display surface. Each location is optically coupled to a photo sensor by an optical fiber installed in a throughhole in the surface. Known calibration patterns are projected, while sensing directly an intensity of light at each location for each calibration pattern. The intensities are used to determine correspondences between the locations and pixels in an output image of the projector so that projected images can be warped to conform to the display surface.

A method enhances an output image of a 3D object. A set of input images are acquired of a 3D object. Each one of the input images is illuminated by a different one of a set of lights placed at different positions with respect to the 3D object. Boundaries of shadows are detected in the set of input images by comparing the set of input images. The boundaries of shadows that are closer to a direction of the set of lights are marked as depth edge pixels.

A computer implemented method registers an image with a 3D physical object by first acquiring a 3D graphics model of an object. Multiple 3D calibration points a surface of the object and corresponding 3D model calibration points in the 3D graphics model are identified. The object is illuminated with a calibration image using a projector at a fixed location. The calibration image is aligned with each of the 3D calibration points on the surface of the 3D physical object to identify corresponding 2D pixels in the calibration image, and then a transformation between the 2D calibration pixels and the corresponding 3D model calibration points is determined to register the projector with the 3D physical object.

A method projects one or more image onto a curved display surface. First, a predetermined structured light pattern is projected onto the display surface. A stereo pair of images is acquired of the projected images on the display surface. Then, a quadric transfer function between the predetermined images and the stereo pair of images, via the display surface, is determined. Thus, an arbitrary output image can be warped according to the quadric transfer function so that when it is projected onto the display surface it appears correct.
