Appying Shape from Lighting Variation to Bump Map Capture

We describe a system for capturing bump maps from a series of images of an object from the same view point, but with varying, known, illumination. Using the illumination information we can reconstruct the surface normals for a variety of, but not all, surface finishes and geometries. The system allows an existing object to be rerendered with new lighting and surface finish without explicitly reconstructing the object geometry.
