Target-based positioning and 3-D target reconstruction are critical capabilities in deploying submersible platforms for a range of underwater applications, e.g., search and inspec...
Localization and mapping in unknown environments becomes more difficult as the complexity of the environment increases. With conventional techniques, the cost of maintaining estim...
The 2.1D sketch is a layered representation of occluding and occluded surfaces of the scene. Extracting the 2.1D sketch from a single image is a difficult and important problem ar...
This paper presents a novel shape recovery technique that combines photometric stereo with polarization information. First, a set of ambiguous surface normals are estimated from po...
We present a variational approachto dense stereo reconstructionwhich combines powerful tools such as regularization and multi-scale processing to estimate directly depth from a num...
