We describe a novel device that can be used as a 2.5D
“scanner” for acquiring surface texture and shape. The device
consists of a slab of clear elastomer covered with a
refl...
Isometric surfaces share the same geometric structure also known as the `first fundamental form'. For example, all possible bending of a given surface, that include all lengt...
Groupwise shape registration of raw edge sequence is addressed. Automatically extracted edge maps are treated as noised input shape of the deformable object and their registration...
Parameterized Appearance Models (PAMs) (e.g. eigentracking, active appearance models, morphable models) use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to model the shape and appearance of...
We propose to incorporate a priori geometric constraints in a 3?D stereo reconstruction scheme to cope with the many cases where image information alone is not sufficient to accur...
