Popis: The light reflected from a surface depends on the scene geometry, the incident illumination and the surface material. A novel methodology is presented which extracts reflectivity information of the various materials in the scene independent of incident light and scene geometry. A scene is captured under different narrow-band color filters and the spectral derivatives of the scene are computed. The resulting spectral derivatives form a spectral gradient at each pixel. This spectral gradient is a material descriptor which is invariant to scene geometry and incident illumination for smooth diffuse surfaces. Spectral gradients can discriminate among smooth dielectrics with different reflectance properties independent of viewing conditions.
