Images for Shape from Shading

This database contains both synthetic and real-world images. Each image has a single object of interest. Manually cropped background is also provided for each image.

• 'Julius Caesar': a synthetic image created from a 3D model [1] under infinite frontal lighting, Lambertian reflectance, and orthographic projection.
• 'BunnyHi': a synthetic image created from a 3D model [2] under infinite frontal lighting, Lambertian reflectance, and orthographic projection.
• 'Pepper': a well-known real-world image for testing SFS. We resize and cropped the original image.
• 'fist' and 'frog': real-world images taken in a dark room, under ceiling lighting and camera flash. images are resized and cropped.

Research results based upon these data are published at http://doi.org/10.1007/s11390-016-1639-1
