Detection and Tracking of Very Small Low Contrast Objects
We present a Kalman tracking algorithm that can track a number of very small, low contrast objects through an image sequence taken from a static camera. The issues that we have ad...

Reconstructing 3D Pose and Motion from a Single Camera View
This paper presents a model based approach to human body tracking in which the 2D silhouette of a moving human and the corresponding 3D skeletal structure are encapsulated within ...

Active Object Recognition in Parametric Eigenspace
We present an efficient method within an active vision framework for recognizing objects which are ambiguous from certain viewpoints. The system is allowed to reposition the camer...

Benchmarking of Bootstrap Temporal Stereo using Statistical and Physical Scene Modelling
Temporal stereo vision algorithms can offer improved robustness, however, this can only be delivered after several frames of a stereo image sequence have been processed. We presen...

Planar Curve Representation and Matching
In this paper, we discuss a method for representing and matching planar curves. The technique is based on using calculations from concentric circles to represent each curve by two...

Spatial Filtering Requirements for Gradient-Based Optical Flow Measurement
When using a gradient-basedmethod to determine the optical flow field for an image sequence, it is generally appreciated that some spatial pre-filtering of the images is usually n...
