This paper presents models and algorithms for estimating the shape of a mirrored surface from a single image of that surface, rendered under an unknown, natural illumination. Whil...
In this paper we reformulate the 3D reconstruction of deformable surfaces from monocular video sequences as a labeling problem. We solve simultaneously for the assignment of featu...
It is often desirable to evaluate an image based on its quality. For many computer vision applications, a perceptually meaningful measure is the most relevant for evaluation; howe...
We present a novel global stereo model that makes use of constraints from points with known depths, i.e., the Ground Control Points (GCPs) as referred to in stereo literature. Our...
The traditional shape-from-shading problem, with a single light source and Lambertian reflectance, is challenging since the constraints implied by the illumination are not suffi...
For two consecutive frames in a video, we identify which pixels in the first frame become occluded in the second. Such general-purpose detection of occlusion regions is difficul...
We present a method for estimating the relative pose of two calibrated or uncalibrated non-overlapping surveillance cameras from observing a moving object. We show how to tackle t...
We introduce a novel type of total variation regularizer, TVS1 , for cyclic structures such as angles or hue values. The method handles the periodicity of values in a simple and c...
We present a new paradigm for tracking objects in video in the presence of other similar objects. This branch-andtrack paradigm is also useful in the absence of motion, for the di...
