The interest in the production of stereoscopic contents is growing rapidly. High quality stereo material can be produced using vertical stereo camera rig but complex color discrepancies occur because of the optical characteristic of the half mirror. These discrepancies may severely increase an audience's sense of fatigue if s/he watches these stereoscopic contents for a long time. The color matching...
In this work we present a novel method for tracking an unknown number of objects with a single camera system in real-time. The proposed algorithm is based on high-accuracy optical flow and finite set statistics. In this framework the target state is treated as a random vector and the number of possible objects as a random number, which has to be estimated correctly. We are able to deal with false...
Within a surveillance video, occlusions are commonplace, and accurately resolving these occlusions is key when seeking to accurately track objects. The challenge of accurately segmenting objects is further complicated by the fact that within many real-world surveillance environments, the objects appear very similar. For example, footage of pedestrians in a city environment will consist of many people...
We present an algorithm for estimating dense image correspondences. Our versatile approach lends itself to various tasks typical for video post-processing, including image morphing, optical flow estimation, stereo rectification, disparity/depth reconstruction and baseline adjustment. We incorporate recent advances in feature matching, energy minimization, stereo vision and data clustering into our...
Shift-map image processing is a new framework based on energy minimization over a large space of labels. The optimization utilizes alpha-expansion moves and iterative refinement over a Gaussian pyramid. In this paper we extend the range of applications to image registration. To do this, new data and smoothness terms have to be constructed. We note a great improvement when we measure pixel similarities...
In this paper we present a method for achieving real-time view interpolation in a virtual navigation application that uses a collection of pre-captured panoramic views as a representation of the environment. In this context, viewpoint interpolation is essential to achieve smooth and realistic viewpoint transition while the user is moving from one panorama to another. In this proposed approach, view...
This paper presents an algorithm for the estimation of optical flow from a single, motion-blurred, color image. The proposed algorithm is based on earlier work that estimated the optical flow using the information from a single grey scale image. By treating the three color channels separately we improved the robustness of our approach. Since first introduced, different groups have used similar techniques...
Reliable segmentation and motion tracking algorithms are required to achieve gesture detection and tracking for human-machine interaction. In this paper we present an efficient method for detecting and tracking moving hands in sign language video frames. We make use of the geodesic active region framework in conjunction with new color and motion forces; color information is provided by a skin color...
