Volume Measurement Method for Irregular Objects Based on Shape from Shading

In this paper, we propose a volume measurement method for irregular objects. And three cameras were used in the image acquisition system. In order to reduce the intensity level and be more coincident with the 3D reconstruction method, a method called Histogram Acceleration has been used. Instead of using the regular shape from shading method, the relation between intensity and the missed 3D information was found. This method is valid within a certain error range. Its showed by experiment that this method has a good performance when dealing with objects with a smooth and convex surface.
