we know that diffuse reflection does not give rise to image formation but non-luminous objects become visible due to regular reflection of light how is this possible

Diffuse reflection is the reflection of light or other waves or particles from a surface such that a ray incident on the surface is scatteredat many angles rather than at just one angle as in the case of specular reflection. An idealdiffuse reflecting surface is said to exhibit Lambertian reflection, meaning that there is equal luminance when viewed from all directions lying in the half-space adjacent to the surface.
A surface built from a non-absorbing powder such as plaster, or from fibers such as paper, or from a polycrystalline material such as white marble, reflects light diffusely with great efficiency. Many common materials exhibit a mixture of specular and diffuse reflection.
The visibility of objects, excluding light-emitting ones, is primarily caused by diffuse reflection of light: it is diffusely-scattered light that forms the image of the object in the observer's eye.
