—Recovering the 3D shape of a nonrigid surface from a single viewpoint is known to be both ambiguous and challenging. Resolving the ambiguities typically requires prior knowledge...
Visual Hull (VH) construction from silhouette images is a popular method of shape estimation. The method, also known as Shape-From-Silhouette (SFS), is used in many applications s...
Optical triangulation, an active reconstruction technique, is known to be an accurate method but has several shortcomings due to occlusion and laser reflectance properties of the...
This paper presents a new method to extract the 3D shape of objects from 3D gray level images using a bicubic B-spline surface model. Extraction of object shape is achieved throug...
In this paper we present a two-level generative model for representing the images and surface depth maps of drapery and clothes. The upper level consists of a number of folds whic...
