City environments often lack textured areas, contain
repetitive structures, strong lighting changes and therefore
are very difficult for standard 3D modeling pipelines.
We prese...
Many natural images contain reflections and transparency, i.e., they contain mixtures of reflected and transmitted light. When viewed from a moving camera, these appear as the sup...
Cast shadows produce troublesome effects for video surveillance systems, typically for object tracking from a fixed viewpoint, since it yields appearance variations of objects dep...

An important topic in face recognition as well as in video coding or multi-modal human machine interfaces is the automatic localization of faces or headand-shoulder regions in vis...
The accuracy of a 3D reconstruction using laser scanners is significantly determined by the detection of the laser stripe. Since the energy pattern of such a stripe corresponds to...
