In this paper we propose a solution of the Lambertian shape-from-shading (SFS) problem by designing a new mathematical framework based on the notion of viscosity solution. The power of our approach is twofolds: (1) it defines a notion of weak solutions (in the viscosity sense) which does not necessarily require boundary data. Moreover, it allows to characterize the viscosity solutions by their "minimums"; and (2) it unifies the works of [Rouy and Tourin, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 29 ( 1992) 867-884], [Lions et al., Numer.

Abstract
In this paper we propose a solution of the Lambertian shape-from-shading (SFS) problem by designing a new mathematical framework based on the notion of viscosity solution. The power of our approach is twofolds: (1) it defines a notion of weak solutions (in the viscosity sense) which does not necessarily require boundary data. Moreover, it allows to characterize the viscosity solutions by their "minimums"; and (2) it unifies the works of [Rouy and Tourin, SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 29 ( 1992) 867-884], [Lions et al., Numer. Math. 64 (1993) 323-353], [Falcone and Sagona, Lect. Notes Math. 1310 (1997) 596-603], [Prados et al., Proc. 7th Eur. Conf. Computer Vision 2351 (2002) 790-804; Prados and Faugeras, IEEE Comput. Soc. Press 2 (2003) 826-831], based on the notion of viscosity solutions and the work of [Dupuis and Oliensis, Ann. Appl.
