The notion of a virtual sensor for optimal 3D reconstruction is introduced. Instead of planar perspective images that collect many rays at a fixed viewpoint, omnivergent cameras c...
Abstract. As part of an architectural modeling project, this paper investigates the problem of understanding and manipulating images of buildings. Our primary motivation is to auto...
Using only shadow trajectories of stationary objects in a scene, we demonstrate that using a set of six or more photographs are sufficient to accurately calibrate the camera. Moreo...
Abstract. Many interesting problems in computer vision can be formulated as a minimization problem for an energy functional. If this functional is given as an integral of a scalar-...
We present a novel variational approach to top-down image segmentation, which accounts for significant projective transformations between a single prior image and the image to be s...
