Abstract — The natural environments that robotic applications often encounter can present difficult problems for imagebased task execution. Prior efforts have used both grayscale...
Recovering the 3D shape of deformable surfaces from single images is difficult because many different shapes have very similar projections. This is commonly addressed by restricti...
We study the 3D reconstruction of a binary scene from X-ray tomographic data. In the special case of a compact and uniform object lying in a uniform background, the scene is entir...
We present a method for drawing lines on an object that depict both the shape and shading of the object. To do so, we construct a gradient field of the diffuse intensity of the su...
We propose a new rendering technique that produces 3-D images with enhanced visual comprehensibility. Shape features can be readily understood if certain geometric properties are ...
