Epipolar Geometry Estimation by Tensor Voting in 8D
We present a novel, efficient, initializationfree approach to the problem of epipolar geometry estimation, by formulating it as one of hyperplane inference from a sparse and noisy...

Robust Estimation of Curvature Information from Noisy 3D Data for Shape Description
We describe an effective and novel approach to infer sign and direction of principal curvatures at each input site from noisy 3D data. Unlike most previous approaches, no local su...

Subpixel-Precise Extraction of Watersheds
An approach to extract watersheds and watercourses, as well as their corresponding valleys and hills, from images with subpixel precision is proposed. The critical points of the t...

Illumination Distribution from Brightness in Shadows: Adaptive Estimation of Illumination Distribution with Unknown Reflectance
This paper describes a new method for estimating the illumination distribution of a real scene from a radiance distribution inside shadows cast by an object in the scene. First, t...

Specularities on Surfaces with Tangential Hairs or Grooves
Specularities on surfaces with tangential hairs or grooves are readily observable in nature. Examples of such phenomena are the arched or looped highlights observed on horses and ...

Multi-Frame Optical Flow Estimation using Subspace Constraints
We show that the set of all ow- elds in a sequence of frames imaging a rigid scene resides in a lowdimensional linear subspace. Based on this observation, we develop a method for ...
