Inventors include Shitrit, Horesh Beny Ben; D'Angelo, Emmanuel Pierre Aim; Dubout, Charles Xavier Quentin; Guilbert, Pierre Claude Thierry; Ngo, Tien-Dat; and Schmidig, David.

The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.

Abstract: A method for estimating an orientation change characteristic of an object from images depicting the object captured at different times. For a plurality of candidate values of the orientation change characteristic, a first region in a first image and a second region in a second image are identified, wherein the first region and the second region would represent a same portion of a surface of the object if the orientation change characteristic was equal to the candidate value. For the plurality of candidate values, a value of a cost function is determined, based on intensity values of a pixel in the first region and a pixel in the second region, and a parameter set comprising a respective value for one or more illumination parameters. The parameter set represents illumination conditions of the object. The orientation change characteristic is estimated based on the values of the cost function.
