Greetings,

I am wondering if anyone here has encountered a linked data vocabulary for shadows in an image?

For example, we have digital scans of 3D text objects. When scanned in orientation "A" the shadows fall in a certain direction, when scanned in orientation "B" they fall in another direction. We are using this difference to enhance text detection algorithms. We need to notate in the metadata of the images which orientation they have relative to their shadows. Has anyone worked with a linked data vocabulary like this?

The basic concept of how a shadow falls within an image is fundamental to photography and art in general. I haven't found a vocabulary in use within those domains either. We would be happy to reuse vocabulary terms from such domains.
