title = "Observations on Shape-from-Shading in Humans",
abstract = "Humans are able to judge the shape of an undulating surface from variations in the amount of light reflected from it due to changes in its orientation/position relative to the light source: shape-from-shading. The study of shape-from-shading in humans has a long history but remains an open problem. While it is clear that humans can use shading information as a shape/depth cue the mechanisms which support this process are not well understood. This knowledge gap is also found in the computer vision literature where despite many years{\textquoteright} of effort and the existence of many good algorithms to deal with special cases, a robust, generic solution to shape-from-shading remains somewhat elusive. In this chapter, we review the principle findings from the literature on shape-from-shading including aspects of lighting estimation and the role of prior assumptions.",
