sfs_orig_lr ( Image : Height : Slant, Tilt, Albedo, Ambient : )

Reconstruct a surface from a gray value image.

sfs_orig_lr reconstructs a surface (i.e. the relative height of each image point) using the original algorithm of Lee and Rosenfeld. The surface is reconstructed from the input image Image. The light source is to be given by the parameters Slant, Tilt, Albedo and Ambient, and is assumed to lie infinitely far away in the direction given by Slant and Tilt. The parameter Albedo determines the albedo of the surface, i.e. the percentage of light reflected in all directions. Ambient determines the amount of ambient light falling onto the surface. It can be set to values greater than zero if, for example, the white balance of the camera was badly adjusted at the moment the image was taken.


Attention

sfs_orig_lr assumes that the heights are to be extracted on a lattice with step width 1. If this is not the case, the calculated heights must be multiplied with the step width after the call to sfs_orig_lr. A Cartesian coordinate system with the origin in the lower left corner of the image is used internally. sfs_orig_lr can only handle byte-images.


Parameters

Image (input_object)
image(-array) -> object : byte
Shaded input image.

Height (output_object)
image(-array) -> object : real
Reconstructed height field.

Slant (input_control)
angle.deg -> real / integer

Default value: 45.0
Suggested values: 1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, 40.0, 60.0, 90.0
Typical range of values: 0.0 <= Slant <= 180.0 (lin)
Minimum increment: 0.01
Recommended increment: 10.0

Tilt (input_control)
angle.deg -> real / integer
Angle between the light source and the x-axis after projection into the xy-plane (in degrees).
Default value: 45.0
Suggested values: 1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, 40.0, 60.0, 90.0

Albedo (input_control)
number -> real / integer
Amount of light reflected by the surface.
Default value: 1.0
Suggested values: 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0
Typical range of values: 0.0 <= Albedo <= 5.0 (lin)
Minimum increment: 0.01
Recommended increment: 0.1
Restriction: Albedo >= 0.0

Ambient (input_control)
number -> real / integer
Amount of ambient light.
Default value: 0.0
Suggested values: 0.1, 0.5, 1.0
Typical range of values: 0.0 <= Ambient <= 1.0 (lin)
Minimum increment: 0.01
Recommended increment: 0.1
Restriction: Ambient >= 0.0


Result

If all parameters are correct sfs_orig_lr returns the value 2 (H_MSG_TRUE). Otherwise, an exception is raised.


Parallelization Information

sfs_orig_lr is reentrant and automatically parallelized (on tuple level).
