We consider the problem of estimating the surface of an object from a calibrated set of views under the assumption that the reflectance of the object is non-Lambertian. In particular, we consider the case when the object presents sharp specular reflections. We pose the problem within a variational framework and use fast numerical techniques to approach the local minimum of a regularized cost functional.
