Blob properties in full-turbulence simulations of the TCV scrape-off layer

Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Benoît Labit, Fabio Avino, Federico Nespoli, Federico David Halpern, Fabio Riva

To investigate blob properties in the tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL), we perform dedicated numerical nonlinear simulations of plasma turbulence in the SOL of a TCV discharge using the Global Braginskii Solver code. A blob detection technique is used for th ...

Registration with the Point Cloud Library A Modular Framework for Aligning in 3-D

Alexandru Eugen Ichim

The open-source point cloud library (PCL) and the tools available for point cloud registration is presented. Pairwise registration is usually carried out by means of one of the several variants of the ICP algorithm. Due to the nonconvexity of the optimizat ...

Using False Colors to Protect Visual Privacy of Sensitive Content

Touradj Ebrahimi

Many privacy protection tools have been proposed for preserving privacy. Tools for protection of visual privacy available today lack either all or some of the important properties that are expected from such tools. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a si ...

Efficient Large Scale Multi-View Stereo for Ultra High Resolution Image Sets

Pascal Fua, Christoph Strecha, Engin Tola

We present a new approach for large scale multi-view stereo matching, which is designed to operate on ultra high resolution image sets and efficiently compute dense 3D point clouds. We show that, by using a robust descriptor for matching purposes and high ...

Learning Image Descriptors with the Boosting-Trick

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Tomasz Piotr Trzcinski, Christos Marios Christoudias

In this paper we apply boosting to learn complex non-linear local visual feature representations, drawing inspiration from its successful application to visual object detection. The main goal of local feature descriptors is to distinctively repre- sent a s ...

LDAHash: Improved Matching with Smaller Descriptors

Pascal Fua, Christoph Strecha

SIFT-like local feature descriptors are ubiquitously employed in computer vision applications such as content-based retrieval, video analysis, copy detection, object recognition, photo tourism, and 3D reconstruction. Feature descriptors can be designed to ...

Scale Invariant Feature Transform on the Sphere: Theory and Applications

Michel Bierlaire, Jean-Philippe Thiran, Javier Cruz Mota, Iva Bogdanova Vandergheynst

A SIFT algorithm in spherical coordinates for omnidirectional images is proposed. This algorithm can generate two types of local descriptors, Local Spherical Descriptors and Local Planar Descriptors. With the first ones, point matching between two omnidire ...

3D Objects Localization Using Fuzzy Approach and Hierarchical Belief Propagation: Application at Level Crossings

Jacques Jacot, Alain Dufaux

Technological solutions for obstacle-detection systems have been proposed to prevent accidents in safety-transport applications. In order to avoid the limits of these proposed technologies, an obstacle-detection system utilizing stereo cameras is proposed ...

Learning Real-Time Perspective Patch Rectification

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit

We propose two learning-based methods to patch rectification that are faster and more reliable than state-of-the-art affine region detection methods. Given a reference view of a patch, they can quickly recognize it in new views and accurately estimate the ...

Finding Objects of Interest in Images using Saliency and Superpixels

Radhakrishna Achanta

The ability to automatically find objects of interest in images is useful in the areas of compression, indexing and retrieval, re-targeting, and so on. There are two classes of such algorithms – those that find any object of interest with no prior knowledg ...

Spatio-Chromatic Decorrelation by Shift-Invariant Filtering

Pascal Fua, Sabine Süsstrunk, Matthew Brown

In this paper we derive convolutional filters for colour image whitening and decorrelation. Whilst whitening can be achieved via eigendecomposition of the image patch covariance, this operation is neither efficient nor biologically plausible. Given the shi ...

Model-based Behavioural Tracking and Scale Invariant Features in Omnidirectional Matching

Javier Cruz Mota

Two classical but crucial and unsolved problems in Computer Vision are treated in this thesis: tracking and matching. The first part of the thesis deals with tracking, studying two of its main difficulties: object representation model drift and total occlu ...

Robust, High-Speed Interest Point Matching for Real-Time Applications

Michael Calonder

A typical Computer Vision system needs to process vast amounts of data as captured by one or more cameras, constantly testing the capabilities of today's hardware. Yet such systems face an ever-growing computational load caused by the more and more demandi ...

Geometric Video Approximation Using Weighted Matching Pursuit

Michel Bierlaire, Pierre Vandergheynst, Gianluca Monaci, Oscar Divorra Escoda

In recent years, many works on geometric image representation have appeared in the literature. Geometric video representation has not received such an important attention so far, and only some initial works in the area have been presented. Works on geometr ...

Fast Texture Segmentation Based on Semi-local Region Descriptor and Active Contour

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Xavier Bresson, Nawal Houhou

In this paper, we present an efficient approach for unsupervised segmentation of natural and textural images based on the extraction of image features and a fast active contour segmentation model. We address the problem of textures where neither the gray-l ...

Augmented reality for non-rigid surfaces

Julien Pilet

Augmented Reality (AR) is the process of integrating virtual elements in reality, often by mixing computer graphics into a live video stream of a real scene. It requires registration of the target object with respect to the cameras. To this end, some appro ...
