I've
been pursuing the idea of creating an artificial vision "machine"
since 1986. Check CMU's
Virtualized Reality if
you are not from the field. I've had a lot of fun on many subjects but some
problems never left my mind: 3D reconstruction and "the
correspondence problem". Those are the problems I've shared
with my PhD students and people I had the previlege to collaborate with.
Multiple motion
segmentation for rigid and articulated moving objects
By tracking points in a video sequence with several objects moving,
points are grouped according to "rigidity".
The 3D
model of "Casa da Musica" is computed from point
coordinates in the images.
Main contributions:
- Uncalibrated
reconstruction (images obtained on google images).
- Very dissimilar images
- Visible are can be degenrate (planar). State
of the art brakes down.
