Projective distortion of surface texture observed in a perspective image can provide direct information about the shape of the underlying surface. Previous theories have generally concerned planar surfaces; in this paper we present a systematic analysis of first- and second-order texture distortion cues for the case of a smooth curved surface. In particular, we analyze several kinds of texture gradients and relate them to surface orientation and surface curvature. The local estimates obtained from these cues can be integrated to obtain a global surface shape, and we show that the two surfaces resulting from the well-known tilt ambiguity in the local foreshortening cue typically have qualitatively different shapes. As an example of a practical application of the analysis, a shape from texture algorithm based on local orientation-selective filtering is described, and some experimental results are shown. |
