Since the pioneering work of Gibson in 1950, ShapeFrom-Texture has been considered by researchers as a hard problem, mainly due to restrictive assumptions which often limit its ap...
We describe a novel device that can be used as a 2.5D
“scanner” for acquiring surface texture and shape. The device
consists of a slab of clear elastomer covered with a
refl...
Illuminant estimation from shadows typically relies on accurate segmentation of the shadows and knowledge of exact 3D geometry, while shadow estimation is difficult in the presen...
In this paper, we propose a framework to carry out supervised classification of images containing both textured and non textured areas. Our approach is based on active contours. U...
This article proposes a method for learning object templates
composed of local sketches and local textures, and
investigates the relative importance of the sketches and textures
