The most important technique to visualize 3D scalar data, as they arise e.g. in medicine from tomographic measurement, is direct volume rendering. A transfer function maps the sca...
We propose a convex framework for silhouette and stereo fusion in 3D reconstruction from multiple images. The key idea is to show that the reconstruction problem can be cast as one...
We present a variational integration of nonlinear shape statistics into a Mumford?Shah based segmentation process. The nonlinear statistics are derived from a set of training silho...
We present a novel human posture recognition method using convex programming based matching schemes. Instead of trying to segment the object from the background, we develop a nove...
The new video-coding standard MPEG-4 enables content-based functionality, as well as high coding efficiency, by taking into account shape information of moving objects. A novel alg...
