A framework for photo-realistic view-dependent image synthesis of a shiny object from a sparse set of images and a geometric model is proposed. Each image is aligned with the 3D m...
—Cast shadows can be significant in many computer vision applications, such as lighting-insensitive recognition and surface reconstruction. Nevertheless, most algorithms neglect ...

In this paper, we present a two-layer generative model that incorporates generic middle-level visual knowledge for dense stereo reconstruction. The visual knowledge is represented...
We introduce multi-chart geometry images, a new representation for arbitrary surfaces. It is created by resampling a surface onto a regular 2D grid. Whereas the original scheme of...
The problem of generating maps with mobile robots has received considerable attention over the past years. Most of the techniques developed so far have been designed for situation...
