This paper presents a method to estimate geometrical, photometrical, and environmental information of a singleviewed object in one integrated framework under fixed viewing positio...

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...

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 ...
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 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...
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...
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...
One significant challenge in the construction of visual detection systems is the acquisition of sufficient labeled data. This paper describes a new technique for training visual d...
This article examines projectively-invariant local geometric properties of smooth curves and surfaces. Oriented projective differential geometry is proposed as a general framework ...
Recently, the optimal distance measure for a given object discrimination task under the nearest neighbor framework was derived [1]. For ease of implementation and efficiency consi...
