Abstract
An apparatus for enhancing a 3-D image illuminated by a light source and having associated depth and texture information includes generating from the depth information a surface mesh having surface mesh sections. Texture sections corresponding to the surface mesh sections are determined from the texture information. The texture sections are ranked based upon their color intensity, and the characteristics of one or more light sources are adjusted to alter the color intensity of the ranked texture sections to thereby produce an enhanced image.
