Computer vision techniques have been applied for rapid and accurate structure recovery in many fields. Most methods perform poorly in areas containing little or no texture and in presence of repetitive patterns. We present a portable, cost-effective pattern projector system powered by the flash of a camera, to aid the reconstruction of such areas....

Nearest neighbor (NN) classification assumes locally constant class conditional probabilities, and suffers from bias in high dimensions with a small sample set. In this paper, we propose a novel cam weighted distance to ameliorate the curse of dimensionality....

In recent years, with camera pixels shrinking in size, images are more likely to include defocused regions. In order to recover scene details from defocused regions, deblurring techniques must be applied. It is well known that the quality of a deblurred image is closely related to the defocus kernel, which is determined by the pattern of the aperture....

An optical diffuser is an element that scatters light and is commonly used to soften or shape illumination. In this paper, we propose a novel depth estimation method that places a diffuser in the scene prior to image capture. We call this approach depth-from-diffusion (DFDiff)....

The range of scene depths that appear focused in an image is known as the depth of field (DOF). Conventional cameras are limited by a fundamental trade-off between depth of field and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). For a dark scene, the aperture of the lens must be opened up to maintain SNR, which causes the DOF to reduce....

Image artifacts that result from sensor dust are a common but annoying problem for many photographers. To reduce the appearance of dust in an image, we first formulate a model of artifact formation due to sensor dust. With this artifact formation model, we make use of contextual information in the image and a color consistency constraint on dust to remove these artifacts....

The classical approach to depth from defocus uses two images taken with circular apertures of different sizes. We show in this paper that the use of a circular aperture severely restricts the accuracy of depth from defocus. We derive a criterion for evaluating a pair of apertures with respect to the precision of depth recovery....

Given a pair of images represented using bag-of-visual words and a label corresponding to whether the images are “related”(must-link constraint) or “unrelated” (must not link constraint), we address the problem of selecting a subset of visual words that are salient to the relevance between the image pair....
