If there is a singular point with maximum intensity in an image, the method use shading information of the singular point and its neighbors to estimate directly the elevation of illuminant direction, surface albedo, and the bias brightness. Some experiment results on synthetic images are given to illustrate the new approach is accurate and robust.展开更多
