We describe a novel device that can be used as a 2.5D
“scanner” for acquiring surface texture and shape. The device
consists of a slab of clear elastomer covered with a
refl...
Interactive image segmentation traditionally involves the
use of algorithms such as Graph Cuts or Random Walker.
Common concerns with using Graph Cuts are metrication
artifacts ...
In this paper, we wish to build a high quality database of
images depicting scenes, along with their real-world threedimensional
(3D) coordinates. Such a database is useful
for ...
Object tracking typically relies on a dynamic model to
predict the object’s location from its past trajectory. In
crowded scenarios a strong dynamic model is particularly
impo...
We introduce a novel parametric BRDF model that can
accurately encode a wide variety of real-world isotropic
BRDFs with a small number of parameters. The key observation
we make...
