System and method for approximating a diffusion profile utilizing gathered lighting information associated with an occluded portion of an object

摘要

A system and method are provided for approximating a diffusion profile utilizing gathered lighting information associated with an occluded portion of an object. In use, the present technique gathers information associated with an occluded portion of an object that is illuminated with a two-dimensional pattern of light including an edge which defines an illuminated portion and the occluded portion of the object. To this end, a diffusion profile of the object is approximated, utilizing such information.
