Practical applications of such a task are encountered among others in professional photography, and cinematography. The method itself, which is based on a voting mechanism, quickly produces consistent and view-independent results, with minimal user intervention.I.3.7 [Computer Graphics]Three Dimensional Graphics and RealismshadingshadowingI.3.4 [Computer Graphics]Graphics UtilitiesGraphics editors10.2312/egsh.2017101769-72
