This state of the art report covers reconstruction methods for transparent and specular
objects or phenomena. While the 3D acquisition of opaque surfaces with Lambertian …

Abstract 3D scanning is one of the lesser talked about technologies used for designing,
inspection, and quality control. This non-contact measuring technology converts a physical …

In the field of industrial metrology, there is a rising need for 3D information at a very high
resolution for micro-measurements and quality control of transparent objects such as glass …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) vision plays an important role in robotics and industrial
automation, wherein the reconstruction of transparent objects poses a great challenge. In …

6DoF object pose estimation is a foundation for many important applications, such as robotic
grasping, automatic driving, and so on. However, it is very challenging to estimate 6DoF …

The demands for digital 3D content for numerous applications such as video games, movies,
virtual prototyping, advertisement, virtual reality, augmented reality or even digital …

In this paper we propose a novel approach to detect and reconstruct transparent objects.
This approach makes use of the fact that many transparent objects, especially the ones …

Estimating the shape of transparent and refractive objects is one of the few open problems in
3D reconstruction. Under the assumption that the rays refract only twice when traveling …

This paper presents a method for recovering shape and normal of a transparent object from
a single viewpoint using a Time-of-Flight (ToF) camera. Our method is built upon the fact that …

In order to improve the accuracy and efficiency of robot grasping, we propose a new method
for transparent object detection and location that utilize depth image, RGB image and IR …
