This paper investigates a novel model-free reinforcement learning architecture, the Natural Actor-Critic. The actor updates are based on stochastic policy gradients employing Amari...
This paper analyses the reconstruction of a 3-D scene from multiple images. The proposed approach uses a voxel representation for initializing an implicit radial basis function (R...
This paper describes a new approach to neural network implementation of photometric stereo for a rotational object with non-uniform reflectance factor. Three input images are acqu...

See www.research.microsoft.com/jojic/epitome.htm for videos, comparisons and applications. We present novel simple appearance and shape models that we call epitomes. The epitome o...
We propose an energy-based framework for approximating surfaces from a cloud of point measurements corrupted by noise and outliers. Our energy assigns a tangent plane to each (noi...
