On the Motion and Appearance of Specularities in Image Sequences
Real scenes are full of specularities (highlights and reflections), and yet most vision algorithms ignore them. In order to capture the appearance of realistic scenes, we need to ...

Stereo Matching Using Belief Propagation
In this paper, we formulate the stereo matching problem as a Markov network consisting of three coupled Markov random fields (MRF's). These three MRF's model a smooth fie...

Recognizing and Tracking Human Action
Human activity can be described as a sequence of 3D body postures. The traditional approach to recognition and 3D reconstruction of human activity has been to track motion in 3D, m...

Structure and Motion for Dynamic Scenes - The Case of Points Moving in Planes
We consider dynamic scenes consisting of moving points whose motion is constrained to happen in one of a pencil of planes. This is for example the case when rigid objects move ind...

Parameter Estimates for a Pencil of Lines: Bounds and Estimators
Estimating the parameters of a pencil of lines is addressed. A statistical model for the measurements is developed, from which the Cramer Rao lower bound is determined. An estimato...

DEFORMOTION: Deforming Motion, Shape Average and the Joint Registration and Segmentation of Images
What does it mean for a deforming object to be "moving" (see Fig. 1)? How can we separate the overall motion (a finite-dimensional group action) from the more general de...

Building Roadmaps of Local Minima of Visual Models
Getting trapped in suboptimal local minima is a perennial problem in model based vision, especially in applications like monocular human body tracking where complex nonlinear para...

Implicit Probabilistic Models of Human Motion for Synthesis and Tracking
Abstract. This paper addresses the problem of probabilistically modeling 3D human motion for synthesis and tracking. Given the high dimensional nature of human motion, learning an ...
