Optimal image alignment with random projections of manifolds: algorithm and geometric analysis

Pascal Frossard, Daniel Kressner, Effrosyni Kokiopoulou

This paper addresses the problem of image alignment based on random measurements. Image alignment consists of estimating the relative transformation between a query image and a reference image. We consider the specific problem where the query image is prov ...

Deformable shape models for 2D object segmentation

Robin Thandiackal

Given a set of images showing individual 2D instances of an object class, the goal is to learn object class deformation in 2D for segmentation automatically. Class deformation is modelled by linear combinations of basis shapes. Usually, given segmentation ...

Geodesic Active Fields

Dominique Zosso

Image registration is the concept of mapping homologous points in a pair of images. In other words, one is looking for an underlying deformation field that matches one image to a target image. The spectrum of applications of image registration is extremely ...

Exploring Ambiguities for Monocular Non-Rigid Shape Estimation

Pascal Fua

Recovering the 3D shape of deformable surfaces from single images is difficult because many different shapes have very similar projections. This is commonly addressed by restricting the set of possible shapes to linear combinations of deformation modes and ...

Simultaneous Point Matching and 3D Deformable Surface Reconstruction

Pascal Fua, Appu Shaji, Aydin Varol

It has been shown that the 3D shape of a deformable surface in an image can be recovered by establishing correspondences between that image and a reference one in which the shape is known. These matches can then be used to set-up a convex optimization prob ...

Being able to recover the shape of 3D deformable surfaces from a single video stream would make it possible to field reconstruction systems that run on widely available hardware without requiring specialized devices. However, because many different 3D shap ...

Simultaneous Pose, Correspondence and Non-Rigid Shape

Pascal Fua, Jonas Olof Martin Östlund

Recent works have shown that 3D shape of non-rigid surfaces can be accurately retrieved from a single im- age given a set of 3D-to-2D correspondences between that image and another one for which the shape is known. However, existing approaches assume that ...

A Closed-Form Solution for the Uniform Sampling of the Epipolar Line via Non-Uniform Depth Sampling

Engin Tola

Given two camera calibrations, this report presents a closed form algorithm that computes a sequence of 3D points such that they all project to a single location on one camera and that their projection forms a uniformly sampled line on the other camera. ...

On unifying sparsity and geometry for image-based 3D scene representation

Ivana Tosic

Demand has emerged for next generation visual technologies that go beyond conventional 2D imaging. Such technologies should capture and communicate all perceptually relevant three-dimensional information about an environment to a distant observer, providin ...

Template-Free Monocular Reconstruction of Deformable Surfaces

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Engin Tola, Aydin Varol

It has recently been shown that deformable 3D surfaces could be recovered from single video streams. However, existing techniques either require a reference view in which the shape of the surface is known a priori, which often may not be available, or requ ...
