Computational methods for the shape from shading problem

The aim of this thesis is to explore computational methods for the shape from shading problem as formulated through the image irradiance equation. We seek to develop robust, efficient methods and test our algorithms on synthetic images ranging from simple smooth surfaces to complex digital terrain m...
