DOI: 10.1098/rsfs.2018.0019
Abstract: Two dilemmas arise in inferring shape information from shading. First, depending on the rendering physics, images can change significantly with (even) small changes in lighting or viewpoint, while the percept frequently does not. Second, brightness… read more here.
