Using Specularities for Recognition
Recognition systems have generally treated specular highlights as noise. We show how to use these highlights as a positive source of information that improves recognition of shiny...

Polarization-based Transparent Surface Modeling from Two Views
In this paper, we propose a novel method to recover the surface shape of transparent objects. The degree of polarization of the light reflected from the object surface depends on ...

Multiple-cue Illumination Estimation in Textured Scenes
In this paper, we present a method that integrates cues from shading, shadow and specular reflections for estimating directional illumination in a textured scene. Texture poses a ...

Surface Reconstruction by Integrating 3D and 2D Data of Multiple Views
Surface representation is needed for almost all modeling and visualization applications, but unfortunately, 3D data from a passive vision system are often insufficient for a tradi...

Learning How to Inpaint from Global Image Statistics
Inpainting is the problem of filling-in holes in images. Considerable progress has been made by techniques that use the immediate boundary of the hole and some prior information o...

Learning Pedestrian Models for Silhouette Refinement
We present a model-based method for accurate extraction of pedestrian silhouettes from video sequences. Our approach is based on two assumptions, 1) there is a common appearance t...
