Abstract
We present a novel computational photography technique for single shot separation of diffuse/specular reflectance as well
as novel angular domain separation of layered reflectance. Our solution consists of a two-way polarized light field (TPLF)
camera which simultaneously captures two orthogonal states of polarization. A single photograph of a subject acquired with
the TPLF camera under polarized illumination then enables standard separation of diffuse (depolarizing) and polarization
preserving specular reflectance using light field sampling. We further demonstrate that the acquired data also enables novel
angular separation of layered reflectance including separation of specular reflectance and single scattering in the polarization
preserving component, and separation of shallow scattering from deep scattering in the depolarizing component. We apply
our approach for efficient acquisition of facial reflectance including diffuse and specular normal maps, and novel separation
of photometric normals into layered reflectance normals for layered facial renderings. We demonstrate our proposed single
shot layered reflectance separation to be comparable to an existing multi-shot technique that relies on structured lighting while
achieving separation results under a variety of illumination conditions.
