This paper proposes a method for the rapid and precise estimation of human hand postures by combining 2-D appearance matching and 3-D model-based fitting. First a rough posture e...
We consider the problem of recognizing 3-D objects from 2-D images using geometric models and assuming different viewing angles and positions. Our goal is to recognize and localize...
In this paper, spherical harmonics are proposed as shape descriptors for 2d images. We introduce the concept of connectivity; 2d images are decomposed using connectivity which is ...
In this paper, we present a new coding scheme for depth maps using a hierarchical decomposition. After we decompose a depth map into three disjoint images and a layer descriptor a...
The management of big databases of three-dimensional models (used in CAD applications, visualization, games, etc.) is a very important domain. The ability to characterize and easi...
