Models covering wide areas can be efficiently constructed from aerial images. However, only roof details are visible from aerial views and ground views are needed to provide details of the building facades for high quality fly-through visualization or simulation applications. Different data sources provide different levels of necessary detail knowledge. We need a method that integrates the various levels of data. We propose a hierarchical representation of 3D building models for urban areas that integrates different data sources including aerial and ground view images. Each data source gives us different details and each level of the model has its own application as well. Through the hierarchical representation of 3D building models, large area site modeling can be done efficiently and cost-effectively. This proposal suggests efficient approaches for acquiring each level model and demonstrates some results of each level including the integration results.","PeriodicalId":265600,"journal":{"name":"First IEEE International Workshop on Higher-Level Knowledge in 3D Modeling and Motion Analysis, 2003.

We introduce the new concept of regularized 3D morphable models, along with an iterative learning algorithm, by adding in the statistical model a noise/regularization term which is estimated from the examples set. With regularized 3D morphable models we are able to handle missing information, as it often occurs with data obtained by 3D acquisition systems; additionally, the new models are less complex than, but as powerful as the non-regularized ones. We present the results obtained for a set of 3D face models and a comparison with the new ones obtained by a traditional morphable model on the same data set.","PeriodicalId":265600,"journal":{"name":"First IEEE International Workshop on Higher-Level Knowledge in 3D Modeling and Motion Analysis, 2003.

The approach and algorithm are designed to handle implicit quadric surfaces, which are regular or singular, in a uniform way without distinguishing the two cases. A significance of these quadric surface estimation results is, as illustrated in the paper, the estimation of complex 3D free form shapes in a computationally simple way in terms of quadric patches. The paper explains how singular quadrics cause instabilities in the 3D surface fitting and representation, and presents regularization, based on this understanding, to produce accurate stable surface representations.","PeriodicalId":265600,"journal":{"name":"First IEEE International Workshop on Higher-Level Knowledge in 3D Modeling and Motion Analysis, 2003.

We use subdivision curves as a simple but flexible curve representation, which allows tagging corners to model non-smooth features along otherwise smooth curves. A Markov chain Monte Carlo approach yields an approximate posterior distribution over tags, while Rao-Blackwellization allows us to integrate out the control point locations by an approximation. We apply this general methodology to multi-view reconstruction of piecewise smooth curves from multiple calibrated views in which the object has been segmented from the background. Results are shown for multiple images of two pot shards as would be encountered in archaeological applications.","PeriodicalId":265600,"journal":{"name":"First IEEE International Workshop on Higher-Level Knowledge in 3D Modeling and Motion Analysis, 2003.

The similarity between every pair of frames in the sequence is determined from the spatial image characteristics via a shape matching technique.

Explicit surfaces, such as triangulations or wire-frame models, are widely accepted in the computer vision and computer graphics communities. However, for automated modeling purposes, they suffer from the fact that fitting to 2-D and 3-D image-data typically involves minimization of the Euclidean distance between observations and their closest facets, which is a non-differentiable distance function. By contrast, implicit surface representations allow fitting by minimizing an algebraic distance where one only needs to evaluate a differentiable field potential function at every data point. However, they have not gained wide acceptance because they are harder to meaningfully deform and render. To combine the strength of both approaches, we propose a method that can turn a completely arbitrary triangulated mesh, such as one taken from the Web, into an implicit surface that closely approximates its shape and can deform in tandem with it. This allows both graphics designers to deform and reshape the implicit surface by manipulating explicit surfaces using standard deformation techniques and automated fitting algorithms to take advantage of the attractive properties of implicit surfaces. We demonstrate the applicability of our technique for upper body-head, neck and shoulders-automated reconstruction.","PeriodicalId":265600,"journal":{"name":"First IEEE International Workshop on Higher-Level Knowledge in 3D Modeling and Motion Analysis, 2003.
