The capability of maintaining the pose of the mobile robot is central for basic navigation and map building tasks. In this paper we describe a vision-based hybrid localization sch...
Non-rigid 3D shape recovery is an inherently ambiguous problem. Given a specific rigid motion, different non-rigid shapes can be found that fit the measurements. To solve this am...
Specular flow is the motion field induced on the image plane by the movement of points reflected by a curved, mirror-like surface. This flow provides information about surface sha...
In factorization approaches to nonrigid structure from
motion, the 3D shape of a deforming object is usually modeled
as a linear combination of a small number of basis
shapes. T...
Accurate knowledge of depth continues to be of critical importance in robotic systems. Without accurate depth knowledge, tasks such as inspection, tracking, grasping, and collisio...
