Classic photometric stereo is often extended to deal with real-world materials and work with unknown lighting conditions for practicability. To quantitatively evaluate non-Lambertian and uncalibrated photometric stereo, a photometric stereo image dataset containing objects of various shapes with complex reflectance properties and high-quality ground truth normals is still missing. In this paper, we introduce the 'DiLiGenT' dataset with calibrated Directional Lightings, objects of General reflectance with different shininess, and 'ground Truth' normals from high-precision laser scanning. We use our dataset to quantitatively evaluate state-of-the-art photometric stereo methods for general materials and unknown lighting conditions, selected from a newly proposed photometric stereo taxonomy emphasizing non-Lambertian and uncalibrated methods. The dataset and evaluation results are made publicly available, and we hope it can serve as a benchmark platform that inspires future research.
