Matlab codes for microgrometry and RGB albedo estimation using photometric stereo without demosaicing.
These Matlab codes implement the method described in [1]. Given a set of non-demosaiced RAW photometric stereo images of a still scene acquired from a (pinhole or orthographic camera) camera, and dense lighting fields, this algorithm estimates depth, normals, and demosaiced RGB albedo. It can output a colored mesh in the .obj format.

- The
Datasets/folder contains three datasets: a 10euro banknote with microgeometry details hidden by a somewhat complicated albedo, and two Euro coins. TheDatasets/Calib/folder contails the dense lighting fields associated with each image, and the camera's intrinsics.
The main fuction is Toolbox/microgeometry.m (see header for details).
Outputs:
- a gridded point cloud (the third dimension represents depth)
- normal map
- albedo
Inputs:
-
a data structure such that:
- data.I contains the 3D or 4D image stack (REQUIRED)
- data.mask contains a binary 2D mask
-
a calib structure such that:
- calib.S contains the dense lighting fields (REQUIRED)
- calib.K contains the camera's intrinsics
-
a param structure containing optional parameters:
- params.z0 is the initial depth. We advise to roughly (visually) estimate the distance from camera to object in mm, and set z0 to a constant matrix with this rough distance
- params.ratio downsamples images by a factor of ratio
The three demo files can be used to reproduce Figs. 2 and 4 in [1].
