ResearchFlows and 3D

Can shape be inferred without knowledge of the light source? How can texture and shading flows be inferred?

The geometry of texture flows is developed here:

• Ben-Shahar, O.Zucker, S.The Perceptual Organization of Texture Flow: A Contextual Inference ApproachIEEE Trans. Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence254401 - 4172003

Shading flows were introduced in:
