Previous work has developed an approach for estimating shape and albedo from multiple images assuming Lambertian reflectance with single light sources. The main contributions of this paper are: (i) to show how the approach can be generalized to include ambient background illumination, (ii) to demonstrate the use of the integrability constraint for solving this problem, and (iii) an iterative algorithm which is able to improve the analysis by finding shadows and rejecting them.
