The method in its basic form is applicable to shading patterns obtained when a distant overhead point light-source illuminates a convex or concave Lambertian surface possessing a single extremal point at which surface height has either a local maximum or local minimum. A key quality of the method is its ability to operate without explicit prerequisite information concerning the shape of the sought-after surface. Consideration is also given to the manipulation of images of more complex surface shapes.","PeriodicalId":312019,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 12th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123089623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to complete the boundaries, a criterion is defined and introduced in an energy function, which has to be optimized.

Several examples of real image restoration have been tested on a SIMD computer (Connection Machine CM 200). This algorithm allows one to fill up large gaps and to get a better contour grouping.","PeriodicalId":312019,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 12th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125833986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hyperquadrics are volumetric shape models that include superquadrics as a special case. Recovering hyperquadric parameters is difficult not only due to the existence of many local minima in the error function but also due to the existence of an infinite number of global minima (with zero error) that do not correspond to any meaningful shape. An algorithm that minimizes the error-of-fit function without using techniques similar to those presented here will often find itself stuck in \"meaningless\" minima, even with good initialization. Our algorithm exhibits good convergence behavior and is largely insensitive to initialization.","PeriodicalId":312019,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 12th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116006811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Position constraints via point correspondences are traditionally used to solve the calibration problem. We describe a method that uses correspondences of projections of orthogonal trihedral vertices for calibration. The method has a closed-form solution, as opposed to many other calibration methods which are iterative. It also requires only two vertex correspondences at minimum to recover all the transformation parameters which are recoverable from a stereo image pair. Extensive experimental results including those on real images are presented, and they show that our method is more robust than those using position constraints alone.","PeriodicalId":312019,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 12th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116093669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
