Detecting Rotational Symmetries
We present an algorithm for detecting multiple rotational symmetries in natural images. Given an image, its gradient magnitude field is computed, and information from the gradient...

Improved Sub-pixel Stereo Correspondences through Symmetric Refinement
Most dense stereo correspondence algorithms start by establishing discrete pixel matches and later refine these matches to sub-pixel precision. Traditional sub-pixel refinement me...

Structured Light in Scattering Media
Virtually all structured light methods assume that the scene and the sources are immersed in pure air and that light is neither scattered nor absorbed. Recently, however, structur...

A Shape-Based Segmentation Approach: An Improved Technique Using Level Sets
We propose a novel approach for shape-based segmentation based on a specially designed level set function format. This format permits us to better control the process of object re...

Dynamic Refraction Stereo
In this paper we consider the problem of reconstructing the 3D position and surface normal of points on an unknown, arbitrarily-shaped refractive surface. We show that two viewpoi...

Guiding Model Search Using Segmentation
In this paper we show how a segmentation as preprocessing paradigm can be used to improve the efficiency and accuracy of model search in an image. We operationalize this idea usin...

Integration of Conditionally Dependent Object Features for Robust Figure/Background Segmentation
We propose a new technique for fusing multiple cues to robustly segment an object from its background in video sequences that suffer from abrupt changes of both illumination and p...

A Bayesian Approach for Shadow Extraction from a Single Image
This paper addresses the problem of shadow extraction from a single image of a complex natural scene. No simplifying assumption on the camera and the light source other than the L...
