Abstract
The Shape from Shading Problem is mathematically equivalent to a non-linear first order PDE. Horn[10] first solved this equation with a variational approach. We design an extended version by adding a smoothing term and present selected test results with synthetic and real images. The results are compared with the results of the original Horn approach.
