estimate_sl_al_zc ( Image : : : Slant, Albedo )

Estimate the slant of a light source and the albedo of a surface.

estimate_sl_al_zc estimates the Slant of a light source, i.e. the angle between the light source and the positive z-axis, and the albedo of the surface in the input image Image, i.e. the percentage of light reflected by the surface, using the algorithm of Zheng and Chellappa.


Attention

The Albedo is assumed constant for the entire surface depicted in the image.


Parameters

Image (input_object)
image(-array) -> object : byte
Image for which slant and albedo are to be estimated.

Slant (output_control)
angle.deg(-array) -> real
Angle of the light sources and the positive z-axis (in degrees).

Albedo (output_control)
real(-array) -> real
Amount of light reflected by the surface.


Result

estimate_sl_al_zc always returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE).


Parallelization Information

estimate_sl_al_zc is reentrant and automatically parallelized (on tuple level).


Possible Successors

sfs_mod_lr, sfs_orig_lr, sfs_pentland, phot_stereo, shade_height_field
