Photometric stereo is a common technique for 3D reconstruction by calculating the surface normals of an object from different illumination angles. The technique is effective to estimate height profile of static objects with large features, but often fails for objects with smaller features or in flat environments with small depressions. We propose a method using deep learning to perform 3D reconstruction of small features. Our method handles sample noise, uneven illumination, and surface tilt. We demonstrate decreased noise susceptibility on synthetic data and promising performance on experimental datasets. This approach enables rapid inspection and reconstruction of complex surfaces without the need to use destructive or expensive analysis methods.
