The visual hull of piecewise smooth objects
The visual hull relates the shape of an object to its silhouettes. This paper develops the theory of the visual hull of piecewise smooth objects, as those used in CAD applications...

Polyhedral Visual Hulls for Real-Time Rendering
We present new algorithms for creating and rendering visual hulls in real-time. Unlike voxel or sampled approaches, we compute an exact polyhedral representation for the visual hul...

Determining Characteristic Views of a 3D Object by Visual Hulls and Hausdorff Distance
Nowadays, with the exponential growing of 3D object representations in private databases or on the web, it is all the more required to match these objects from some views. To impr...

Real-Time GPU-Based Voxel Carving with Systematic Occlusion Handling
Abstract. We present an approach to compute the visual hulls of multiple people in real-time in the presence of occlusions. We prove that the resulting visual hulls are correct and...

Learning 4D action feature models for arbitrary view action recognition
In this paper we present a novel approach using a 4D (x,y,z,t) action feature model (4D-AFM) for recognizing actions from arbitrary views. The 4D-AFM elegantly encodes shape and m...

Visual Hull Alignment and Refinement Across Time: A 3D Reconstruction Algorithm Combining Shape-From-Silhouette with Stereo
Visual Hull (VH) construction from silhouette images is a popular method of shape estimation. The method, also known as Shape-From-Silhouette (SFS), is used in many applications s...
