Abstract

A computer-implemented method for surface modeling includes: receiving one or more polarization raw frames of a surface of a physical object, the polarization raw frames being captured with a polarizing filter at different linear polarization angles; extracting one or more first tensors in one or more polarization representation spaces from the polarization raw frames; and detecting a surface characteristic of the surface of the physical object based on the one or more first tensors in the one or more polarization representation spaces.
