Decomposition of Complex Line Drawings with Hidden Lines for 3D Planar-Faced Manifold Object Reconstruction
—3D object reconstruction from a single 2D line drawing is an important problem in computer vision. Many methods have been presented to solve this problem, but they usually fail ...

The Effect of Border Noise on the Performance of Projection-Based Page Segmentation Methods
— Projection methods have been used in the analysis of bi-tonal document images for different tasks like page segmentation and skew correction for over two decades. However, thes...

Robust Stereo Matching Using Adaptive Normalized Cross-Correlation
—A majority of the existing stereo matching algorithms assume that the corresponding color values are similar to each other. However, it is not so in practice as image color valu...

Linear Local Models for Monocular Reconstruction of Deformable Surfaces
—Recovering the 3D shape of a nonrigid surface from a single viewpoint is known to be both ambiguous and challenging. Resolving the ambiguities typically requires prior knowledge...

The Ovuscule
—We propose an active contour (a.k.a. snake) that takes the shape of an ellipse. Its evolution is driven by surface terms made of two contributions: the integral of the data over...

Multiperson Visual Focus of Attention from Head Pose and Meeting Contextual Cues
—This paper introduces a novel contextual model for the recognition of people’s visual focus of attention (VFOA) in meetings from audio-visual perceptual cues. More specificall...

Approximately Global Optimization for Robust Alignment of Generalized Shapes
—In this paper, we introduce a novel method to solve shape alignment problems. We use gray-scale “images” to represent source shapes, and propose a novel two-component Gaussi...

Multiview Stereo and Silhouette Consistency via Convex Functionals over Convex Domains
—We propose a convex formulation for silhouette and stereo fusion in 3D reconstruction from multiple images. The key idea is to show that the reconstruction problem can be cast a...
