Localization and mapping in unknown environments becomes more difficult as the complexity of the environment increases. With conventional techniques, the cost of maintaining estim...
It is well-known that forward motion induces a large number of local minima in the instantaneous least-squares reprojection error. This is caused in part by singularities in the e...
In this work, we consider the dense reconstruction of specular objects. We propose the use of a specularity constraint, based on surface normal/depth consistency, to define a matc...
Image understanding involves analyzing many different aspects of the scene. In this paper, we are concerned with how these tasks can be combined in a way that improves the perform...
We present a fully probabilistic stick-figure model that uses a nonparametric Bayesian distribution over trees for its structure prior. Sticks are represented by nodes in a tree i...
