Abstract. We formulate a robust method using Expectation Maximization (EM) to address the problem of dense photometric stereo. Previous approaches using Markov Random Fields (MRF) ...
In spite of the initialization problem, the ExpectationMaximization (EM) algorithm is widely used for estimating the parameters in several data mining related tasks. Most popular ...

We present a new probabilistic framework for finding likely variable assignments in difficult constraint satisfaction problems. Finding such assignments is key to efficient sea...

—This paper presents a robust and automatic approach to photometric stereo, where the two main components, namely surface normals and visible surfaces, are respectively optimized...
—This paper addresses the issue of matching rigid and articulated shapes through probabilistic point registration. The problem is recast into a missing data framework where unkno...
