Illuminated 3D surface, shading problem, height function, Morsetheory
Shadows provide perceptually important information about the shape of an illuminated three-dimensional (3D) surface. In this article, we present the topological properties of the shading problem in the Morse-theoretic framework, and we establish some key theoretical properties of the height function in the light direction of an illuminated 3D surface. We also describe a link between the shading problem and the height function in the light direction, and we derive the necessary and suļ¬cient conditions for the shading function to be a Morse function.
