Learning stereo reconstruction with deep neural networks

Stereo reconstruction is a problem of recovering a 3d structure of a scene from a pair of images of the scene, acquired from different viewpoints. It has been investigated for decades and many successful methods were developed. The main drawback of these ...

Graph-based regularization of inverse problems in imaging

Mattia Rossi

As of today, the extension of the human visual capabilities to machines remains both a cornerstone and an open challenge in the attempt to develop intelligent systems. On the one hand, the development of more and more sophisticated imaging devices, capable ...

Obstacle detection for lake-deployed autonomous surface vehicles using RGB imagery

David Andrew Barry, Philippe Olivier Paccaud

We describe and test an obstacle-detection system for small, lake-deployed autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) that relies on a low-cost, consumer-grade camera and runs on a single-board computer. A key feature of lakes that must be accounted for is the fre ...

Robust Gaze Estimation Based on Adaptive Fusion of Multiple Cameras

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Nuri Murat Arar, Hua Gao

Gaze movements play a crucial role in human-computer interaction (HCI) applications. Recently, gaze tracking systems with a wide variety of applications have attracted much interest by the industry as well as the scientific community. The state-of-the-art ...

Mapping with MAV: Experimental Study on the Contribution of Absolute and Relative Aerial Position Control

Jan Skaloud, Martin Rehak

This study highlights the benefit of precise aerial position control in the context of mapping using frame-based imagery taken by small UAVs. We execute several flights with a custom Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV) octocopter over a small calibration field equi ...

Light ﬁeld panorama by a plenoptic camera

Martin Vetterli, Paolo Prandoni, Loïc Arnaud Baboulaz, Zhou Xue

Consumer-grade plenoptic camera Lytro draws a lot of interest from both academic and industrial world. However its low resolution in both spatial and angular domain prevents it from being used for ﬁne and detailed light ﬁeld acquisition. This paper propose ...

Real-time Implementation of Gaussian Image Blending in a Spherical Light Field Camera

Alexandre Schmid, Yusuf Leblebici, Vladan Popovic, Hossein Afshari

Panoptic is a custom spherical light field camera used as a polydioptric system where imagers are distributed over a spherical geometry, each having its own vision of the surrounding and a distinct focal plane. The spherical light field camera records ligh ...

A Spherical Multi-camera System with Real-time Omnidirectional Video Acquisition Capability

Alexandre Schmid, Yusuf Leblebici, Vladan Popovic, Hossein Afshari

A multi-camera system inspired from the visual system of flying insects is introduced which is referred to as the Panoptic camera. In the Panoptic system each camera is mounted over a hemispherical geometry and has its own vision of surrounding and distinc ...

Real-time FPGA implementation of linear blending vision reconstruction algorithm using a spherical light field camera

Alexandre Schmid, Yusuf Leblebici, Vladan Popovic, Hossein Afshari, Abdulkadir Akin

A custom spherical light-field camera used as a polydioptric system where imagers are distributed over a spherical geometry, each having its own vision of the surrounding and distinct focal plane. The spherical light-field camera is also an omnidirectional ...

Illuminant estimation and detection using near infrared

Sabine Süsstrunk

Digital camera sensors are sensitive to wavelengths ranging from the ultraviolet (200-400nm) to the near-infrared (700-100nm) bands. This range is, however, reduced because the aim of photographic cameras is to capture and reproduce the visible spectrum (4 ...

A Home Décor expert in your camera

Sabine Süsstrunk, Joanna Marguier

We present a method to give color advice for Home Décor using images of room finishes, such as paint, flooring, or textiles, taken with uncalibrated cameras. Due to variations in color rendering across devices, an object imaged with different cameras will ...

Colouring the near infrared

Sabine Süsstrunk

Current digital camera sensors are inherently sensitive to the near-infrared part of the spectrum. To prevent the near-IR contamination of images, an IR blocking filter (hot mirror) is placed in front of the sensor. In this work, we start by replacing the ...

Spatio-temporal human pose detection

Miodrag Dimitrijevic

This thesis proposes a Chamfer-based method for human body pose detection that combines silhouette matching, motion information, and statistical relevance estimates in an original way. We demonstrate that our method can not only detect people but also reco ...

Automatic Red-Eye Removal based on Sclera and Skin Tone Detection

Patrick Vandewalle, Flavien Volken, Johann Terrier

It is well-known that taking portrait photographs with a built in camera may create a red-eye effect. This effect is caused by the light entering the subject’s eye through the pupil and reflecting from the retina back to the sensor. These red eyes are prob ...
