In this study, we demonstrate the effectiveness of using extended light sources for modeling the appearance of an object for varying illumination. Extended light sources have a ra...
This paper develops an analytic model for self shadowing and local illumination of rough surfaces. The surface is assumed homogeneous, isotropic, and smooth microscopically, with ...
This appendix proves the illumination robustness of the proposed corner detector over the Harris corner detector. I. HARRIS CORNER DETECTOR The Harris corner detector [1] is based...
— A major challenge in the path of widespread use of mobile robots is the ability to function autonomously, learning useful features from the environment and using them to adapt ...
This paper addresses the problem of foreground extraction using active illumination and graph-cut optimization. Our approach starts by detecting image regions that are likely to b...
