The increasing availability of high performance, low priced, portable digital imaging devices has created a tremendous opportunity for supplementing traditional scanning for docum...
Duality is a well-established concept in quantum physics. It formalises the fact that what one observes is not nature in itself, but--in Heisenberg's words--"nature expo...
In this paper, we present an approach to multi-view image-based 3D reconstruction by statistically inversing the ray-tracing based image generation process. The proposed algorithm...
In this paper a range synthesis algorithm is proposed as an initial solution to the problem of 3D environment modeling from sparse data. We develop a statistical learning method f...
Humans tend to use high-level semantic concepts when querying and browsing multimedia databases; there is thus, a need for systems that extract these concepts and make available a...
