Abstract

Reflections on a specular surface distort their surrounding environments in ways that give visual clues about the surface's principal and Gaussian curvatures. This article mathematically examines this phenomenon by introducing a calibrated environment and using standard photography to record the distortions of that environment on the specular surface. We provide a novel approach to this examination which ultimately succeeds in demonstrating the availability of this curvature information in the reflections.
