In this study a new algorithm for 3D surface reconstruction from multiple images using a modified photometric stereo method is proposed and tested. The new algorithm, Filtered Lambert Photometric Stereo (FLPS), determines the non-Lambert pixels in the available images using a linearity test and constructs filtering masks for each image that corresponds to specular and self or cast shadow regions. Then, the photometric stereo is applied after eliminating the points in these masks. Tests carried out on synthetic images show that LPS on filtered images is a feasible solution when more than 4 images are available.

Crowd counting is a challenging task to predict the number of persons in crowded scenes. The major challenge comes from density/scale variation in one single image, which results in a significant performance decrease for most methods. In this work, we aim to explore how to solve the scale variation problem with assistance from the segmentation task. We first simultaneously predict a coarse density map, along with multi-scale segmentation masks, which provide strong priors of background and head regions with different scales; then we propose a Spatially Adaptive Pyramid (SAP) feature fusion block to fully integrate the coarse density map and multi-scale segmentation masks; in SAP, a feature pyramid and corresponding attention pyramid are obtained for multi-scale head regions, and then cross-scale correlations are computed to handle the scale variation problem. These high-dimensional cross-scale correlation features are then used to refine the density map, based on which the final counting numbers are obtained. Experiments show that our proposed SAP block significantly outperforms previous fusion methods, and obtains consistent improvements on various backbones. Compared to previous state-of-the-art methods, our method is better at handling scale variation, surpassing previous methods on the challenging ShanghaiTech A, UCF-QNRF and NWPU datasets.
