This paper describes a new method for reconstructing the structure of a skin surface replica from three shading images taken from three different lightings. Since the shading images include specular and inter reflections, the conventional photometric stereo method is not suitable for reconstructing its surface struc- ture. In the proposed method, the evaluation function of the surface shape in defined, then the structure is reconstructed by optimizing the evaluation using simulated annealing.
