Shape and Radiance Estimation from the Information-Divergence of Blurred Images (submitted, 1999)
Synopsis
Once addressed the Observability of the accommodation cue - which establishes to what extent shape can be reconstructed from different images of the same scene taken with different imaging geometries - it is necessary to devise algorithms to carry out such estimation. Our emphasis is in provably convergent algorithms that return, together with an estimate of shape, a measure of reliability. We are currently exploring different performance criteria that range from the 2-norm to Total variation, and Information-divergence.
