Project 3 : Photometric Stereo


Overall, the project went smoothly. I would like in the future to experiment with my own pictures and investigate stitching different views. A significant artifact appears in my third artifact, the owl. The black eye appears to be sticking out. If the surface of the eye was more specular, this might have been avoided, which highlights one of the limitations of this method.
