This paper presents a novel processing scheme for the automatic computation of a medial shape model which is representative for an object population with shape variability. The se...
Active Appearance Models (AAMs) have been popularly used to represent the appearance and shape variations of human faces. Fitting an AAM to images recovers the face pose as well a...
We propose using stereo matching for 2-D face recognition across pose. We match one 2-D query image to one 2-D gallery image without performing 3-D reconstruction. Then the cost o...
Strong lighting is common in natural scenes yet is often viewed as a nuisance for object pose estimation and tracking. In human shape and pose estimation, cast shadows can be conf...

Robust integration of range images is an important task for building high-quality 3D models. Since range images, and in particular range maps from stereo vision, may have a substa...
