Abstract: Disclosed are herein a three-dimensional (3D) object acquisition method and an object acquisition apparatus using artificial light photographs. A 3D object acquisition method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes receiving a plurality of images of a 3D object photographed by a camera, reconstructing spatially-varying bidirectional reflectance distribution functions for the 3D object based on the plurality of images received, estimating shading normals for the 3D object based on the reconstructed spatially-varying bidirectional reflectance distribution functions, and acquiring 3D geometry for the 3D object based on the estimated shading normals.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for simultaneously measuring a surface normal vector and a surface reflection function in microscale. The system includes a light dome having a hemispherical-shaped structure and including LEDs to radiate light to an object placed therein; a macro lens installed camera arranged over the light dome to photograph the object through a hole formed at a center of the light dome under an environment in which a light is radiated from the light dome; an xyz micro-translation stage arranged under the light dome and configured to move in xyz-directions to adjust a focal distance between the macro lens installed camera and the object, and a measurement unit configured to control the light dome and the macro lens installed camera to obtain a microscale image, and configured to simultaneously measure a surface normal vector and a surface reflection function of the object based on the microscale image.
