3D Box Proposals from a Single Monocular Image of an Indoor Scene

Mathieu Salzmann, Wei Zhuo

Modern object detection methods typically rely on bounding box proposals as input. While initially popularized in the 2D case, this idea has received increasing attention for 3D bounding boxes. Nevertheless, existing 3D box proposal techniques all assume h ...

Learning to Reconstruct Texture-less Deformable Surfaces from a Single View

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Jan Bednarík

Recent years have seen the development of mature solutions for reconstructing deformable surfaces from a single image, provided that they are relatively well-textured. By contrast, recovering the 3D shape of texture-less surfaces remains an open problem, a ...

A Novel Representation of Parts for Accurate 3D Object Detection and Tracking in Monocular Images

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Kwang Moo Yi, Alberto Crivellaro, Yannick Verdie, Mahdi Rad

We present a method that estimates in real-time and under challenging conditions the 3D pose of a known object. Our method relies only on grayscale images since depth cameras fail on metallic objects; it can handle poorly textured objects, and cluttered, c ...

Limitations of patterning thin films by shadow mask high vacuum chemical vapor deposition

Patrik Willi Hoffmann, Yury Kuzminykh, Michael Oliver Reinke

A key factor in engineering integrated devices such as electro-optic switches or waveguides is the patterning of high quality crystalline thin films into specific geometries. In this contribution high vacuum chemical vapor deposition (HV-CVD) was employed ...

Practical parallel rendering of detailed neuron simulations

John Anthony Biddiscombe

Parallel rendering of large polygonal models with transparency is challenging due to the need for alpha-correct blending and compositing, which is costly for very large models with high depth complexity and spatial overlap. In this paper we compare the per ...

Omnidirectional Light Field Analysis and Reconstruction

Luigi Bagnato

Digital photography exists since 1975, when Steven Sasson attempted to build the first digital camera. Since then the concept of digital camera did not evolve much: an optical lens concentrates light rays onto a focal plane where a planar photosensitive ar ...

Assessment of Stereoscopic Crosstalk Perception

Touradj Ebrahimi

Stereoscopic three-dimensional (3-D) services do not always prevail when compared with their two-dimensional (2-D) counterparts, though the former can provide more immersive experience with the help of binocular depth. Various specific 3-D artefacts might ...

RD optimized auxiliary information for inpainting-based view synthesis

Pascal Frossard, Thomas Maugey

Texture and depth maps of two neighboring camera viewpoints are typically required for synthesis of an intermediate virtual view via depth-image-based rendering (DIBR). However, the bitrate overhead required for reconstruction ofmultiple texture and depth ...

Removing Shadows from Images Using Color and Near-infrared

Sabine Süsstrunk, Neda Salamati, Arthur Germain

Shadows often introduce errors in the performance of computer vision algorithms, such as object detection and tracking. This paper proposes a method to remove shadows from real images based on a probability shadow map. The probability shadow map identifies ...

Fast Structure from Motion for Planar Image Sequences

Pierre Vandergheynst, Luigi Bagnato, Andreas Weishaupt

Dense three-dimensional reconstruction of a scene from images is a challenging task. Usually, it is achieved by finding correspondences in successive images and computing the distance by means of epipolar geometry. In this paper, we propose a variational f ...

Large occlusion completion using normal maps

Pascal Fua, Christoph Strecha, Engin Tola, Andrea Fossati

Dense disparity maps can be computed from wide-baseline stereo pairs but will inevitably contain large areas where the depth cannot be estimated accurately because the pixels are seen in one view only. A traditional approach to this problem is to introduce ...
