render_lambertian — 3D photometric op

• Data kinds: normalmap → image2d

• Call: import photometric; photometric.render_lambertian(normals, albedo, light, ambient=0.0) (or ops3d.get("render_lambertian"))

Usage

Normals + albedo + light direction → a Lambertian image (inspection-sample generation / GT verification / the forward model of inverse rendering). → HxW.

References (sample data, literature)

• Sample-data catalog (download URLs / licences) — 2-D uses skimage.data (BSD/public domain) plus synthetic images; 3-D lists download URLs for real data sources (Stanford, PDS, …).

• Operator provenance and references — the sources of the research/methods this op family came from.

Runnable examples (verified samples that actually call this op)

• photometric_stereo — py -3.11 examples_3d/photometric_stereo.py

• render_shade — py -3.11 examples_3d/render_shade.py
