A new upsampling method for mobile LiDAR data
We present a novel method to upsample mobile LiDAR data using panoramic images collected in urban environments. Our method differs from existing methods in the following aspects: ...

Real-time stereo and flow-based video segmentation with superpixels
The use of depth is becoming increasingly popular in real-time computer vision applications. However, when using real-time stereo for depth, the quality of the disparity image is ...

Street view goes indoors: Automatic pose estimation from uncalibrated unordered spherical panoramas
We present a novel algorithm that takes as input an uncalibrated unordered set of spherical panoramic images and outputs their relative pose up to a global scale. The panoramas co...

Predicting human gaze using quaternion DCT image signature saliency and face detection
We combine and extend the previous work on DCT-based image signatures and face detection to determine the visual saliency. To this end, we transfer the scalar definition of image...

PTZ camera network calibration from moving people in sports broadcasts
In sports broadcasts, networks consisting of pan-tiltzoom (PTZ) cameras usually exhibit very wide baselines, making standard matching techniques for camera calibration very hard t...

Kernel analysis over Riemannian manifolds for visual recognition of actions, pedestrians and textures
A convenient way of analysing Riemannian manifolds is to embed them in Euclidean spaces, with the embedding typically obtained by flattening the manifold via tangent spaces. This...
