Browsing 3-D spaces with 3-D vision: body-driven navigation through the Internet city
This paper presents a computer vision stereo based interface to navigate inside a 3-D Internet city, using body gestures. A wide-baseline stereo pair of cameras is used to obtain ...

Surface Reconstruction from Multiple Views using Rational B-Splines and Knot Insertion
A method for reconstruction of 3D rational B-spline surfaces from multiple views is proposed. Given corresponding features in multiple views, though not necessarily visible in all...

Extraction and Description of 3D (Articulated) Moving Objects
We seek to extract the three-dimensional motion of articulated objects by passive sensing. We first developed a multi-view system that segments objects from the background before...

Implementation of a Shadow Carving System for Shape Capture
—We present a new technique for estimating the 3D shape of an object that combines previous ideas from shape from silhouettes and shape from shadows. We begin with a set-up for r...

Compression of Isosurfaces for Structured Volumes with Context Modelling
In many applications surfaces with a large number of primitives occur. Geometry compression reduces storage space and transmission time for such models. A special case is given by...

Octree approximation and compression methods
Techniques are presented to progressively approximate and compress in a lossless manner two-colored (i.e. binary) 3D objects (as well as objects of arbitrary dimensionality). The ...
