map z(x, y) <strong>the</strong> energy function can be written asf(z) =g(z)+λh(z) z ∈ R. (2.2)Although this assumption is quite limited, <strong>the</strong> idea of treating smoothing as a regularizationprocess is <strong>the</strong> basis of <strong>the</strong> approach developed in this research. Different definitionsof <strong>the</strong> smoothing term have been proposed in <strong>the</strong> literature. Blake and Zissermen [10]introduced <strong>the</strong> membrane and plate model. Using <strong>the</strong> membrane model, <strong>the</strong> smoothingterm for a height map z is∫∫h =|∇z| 2 dxdy (2.3)The membrane has intrinsic resistance to creasing. In order to fit to crease discontinuities,a plate model should be used. The smoothing term for a plate model is <strong>the</strong>Quadratic Variation∫∫h =(z 2 xx +2z 2 xy + z 2 yy)dxdy (2.4)or <strong>the</strong> Square Laplacian∫∫h =(z xx + z yy ) 2 dxdy (2.5)Stevenson and Delp [83] chose h as <strong>the</strong> sum square integral of <strong>the</strong> two principal12
