We present a fully automatic algorithm for estimating the projected light source direction from a single image. The requirement is that there exists a segment of an occluding contour of an object with locally Lambertian surface reflectance in the image. The algorithm consists of three stages. First a heuristic algorithm picks out potential occluding contours using color and edge information. Secondly, for each contour the light source direction is estimated using a shading model. In the final stage the results from the estimations are fused together in a Bayesian network to arrive at the most likely light source direction. The probabilistic model takes into account that the contours from the first stage might not be occluding contours. Using the same framework the contours are also classified as occluding or not. Experiments test the second stage, estimating the light source direction from an occluding contour, as well as the full algorithm.
