In the context of shape and image modeling by manifold learning, we focus on the problem of denoising. A set of shapes or images being known through given samples, we capture its s...
Strong lighting is common in natural scenes yet is often viewed as a nuisance for object pose estimation and tracking. In human shape and pose estimation, cast shadows can be conf...

Traditional Shape-from-Shading (SFS) techniques aim to solve an under-constrained problem: estimating depth map from one single image. The results are usually brittle from real im...
Automatic construction of Shape and Appearance Models from examples via establishing correspondences across the training set has been successful in the last decades. One successfu...
Anatomical objects often have complex and varying image appearance at different portions of the boundary; and it is frequently a challenge even to select appropriate scales at whic...
