Q2. What have the authors stated for future works in "Transfer of albedo and local depth variation to photo-textures" ?
As future work, the authors consider that further investigation of transferoriented texture descriptors is a promising field in order to improve the performance of Transfer by Analogy. Finally, using a simple acquisition process and consumer SLR equipment, the authors demonstrate the efficacy of their processes to significantly enhance the detail recovered for building façades within a full imagebased reconstruction and relighting pipeline.
Q3. What is the way to preserve the original structure and appearance of the photo-texture?
Employing a transfer approach rather than a synthesis approach preserves the original structure and appearance contained in the photo-texture.
Q4. What is the strength of Transfer by Analogy?
A particular strength of the Transfer by Analogy process is that the matching finds coordinates in an exemplar which the authors are able to exploit in order to boost resolution of the photo-texture.
Q5. How do the authors compute an approximate albedo map?
By subtracting the ambient image from the flash image, and dividing by a calibration image, the authors compute an approximate albedo map.
Q6. What is the result of dividing the grey scale version of the image by a blurred?
The binary mask is the result of dividing the grey scale version of the image by a blurred version of itself, efectively extracting the high frequencies, and then thresholding it to create a binary image.
Q7. What is the real strength of Transfer by Analogy?
Transfer by Analogy, naturally facilitates searching for the best match between several materials, and therefore, the real strength of the approach is that no segmentation is required for the transfer process.
Q8. How do the authors use pixel voting to avoid blocky effects?
The authors scale up the coordinate map that associates the photo-texture to the exemplar and use pixel voting, as described before, to avoid blocky effects.
Q9. What could be used to fill the unmatched areas?
In these cases when the phototexture-exemplar match present a large error, other tecniques such as texture inpainting could be used to fill the unmatched areas.
Q10. Why is it important to keep the structure of the texture coherent?
This is important to keep the structure of the texture coherent, especially in the shading image where noise can produce undesirable high frequencies in the resulting geometry.
Q11. How do the authors generate new pixels or patches?
New pixels or patches are generated by choosing the best candidate from a given exemplar, such that it is coherent with the already synthesized texture.
Q12. how to improve the detail of building facades?
using a simple acquisition process and consumer SLR equipment, the authors demonstrate the efficacy of their processes to significantly enhance the detail recovered for building façades within a full imagebased reconstruction and relighting pipeline.
Q13. What is the way to estimate the reflectance properties of a large complex scene?
This data can be used within the inverse rendering framework [9, 4] to estimate the reflectance properties of a large complex scene.
Q14. What is the technique used to capture a photograph of opaque surfaces?
This technique requires capturing a photograph of opaque surfaces under natural diffuse light-ing (ambient image), ideally on a cloudy day thus avoiding hard shadows, and another one firing a flash (flash image).
