We propose a novel approach to improve the distinctiveness of local image features without significantly affecting their robustness with respect to image deformations. Local image...
General structure-from-motion methods are not adept at dealing with constrained camera motions, even though such motions greatly simplify vision tasks like mobile robot localizati...
Amethod for quick determination of the position and pose of a 3D free-form object with respect to its 2D projective image(s) is proposed. It is a precondition of the method that a...

This paper addresses the problem of estimating the epipolar geometry from apparent contours in two special cases: under weak perspective and for circular motion. An appropriate pa...
To improve upon the initial disparity estimates stemming from a local correspondence method, a subsequent refinement step is commonly employed. The performance of the stereo match...
