In this paper, we propose a new approach to the non-rigid image registration. This problem can be easily attacked if we can find regularly distributed correspondence points over ...
Image matting is the problem of determining for each pixel in an image whether it is foreground, background, or the mixing parameter, ”alpha”, for those pixels that are a mixt...
The parameters estimated by Structure from Motion SFM contain inherent indeterminacies which we call gauge freedoms. Under a perspective camera, shape and motion parameters are o...
In this paper we address the problem of using quaternions in unconstrained nonlinear optimization of 3-D rotations. Quaternions representing rotations have four elements but only ...
We develop a new motion planning algorithm for a variant of a Dubins car with binary left/right steering and apply it to steerable needles, a new class of flexible beveltip medica...
