3D tree reconstruction from laser range data
— We present a method for reconstructing 3D models of tree branch structure from laser range data. Our approach is probabilistic, and uses a generative model of a tree to guide a...

Learning 3-D object orientation from images
— We propose a learning algorithm for estimating the 3-D orientation of objects. Orientation learning is a difficult problem because the space of orientations is non-Euclidean, ...
