Abstract :
This paper focuses on recovering surface topography from shape-from-refraction data. The authors´ solution features a hybrid genetic algorithm and a model estimation approach. The authors briefly describe The University of Michigan (U-M) wave-slope optical instrument that is currently under calibration. Topographic results are reported with data from a similar, but operational instrument (University of Heidelberg wave-slope gauge)
