We present a new statistical shape-from-shading framework for images of unknown illumination. The object (e.g., face) to be reconstructed is described by a parametric model. To de...
This paper proposes a new approach to 3D reconstruction of piecewise planar objects based on two image regularities, connectivity and perspective symmetry. First, we formulate the...
We present a simple and universal camera calibration method. Instead of extensive setups we are exploiting the accurate angular positions of fixed stars. High precision is achieve...

Recovering the 3D coordinates of various joints of the human body from an image is a critical first step for several model-based human tracking and optical motion capture systems....
In this paper, we present a new method for segmenting closed contours and surfaces. Our work builds on a variant of the Fast Marching algorithm. First, an initial point on the des...
