While routinely used in other areas of dynamics, image sets are ill-defined objects in general non-invertible measurable dynamics. We propose a way of consistently working with image sets of null-preserving (and hence, in particular, of…
Human has an incredible ability to effortlessly perceive the viewpoint difference between two images containing the same object, even when the viewpoint change is astonishingly vast with no co-visible regions in the images. This remarkable…
We show that the homogeneous approximation property and the comparison theorem hold for arbitrary coherent frames. This observation answers some questions about the density of frames that are not covered by the theory of Balan, Casazza,…
One considers geometry with the intransitive equaivalence relation. Such a geometry is a physical geometry, i.e. it is described completely by the world function, which is a half of the squared distance function. The physical geometry…
We present a model for the joint estimation of disparity and motion. The model is based on learning about the interrelations between images from multiple cameras, multiple frames in a video, or the combination of both. We show that learning…
Recent approaches on visual scene understanding attempt to build a scene graph -- a computational representation of objects and their pairwise relationships. Such rich semantic representation is very appealing, yet difficult to obtain from…
Geometrical optics provides an instructive insight into Brownian motion, ``pushed" into a large-deviations regime by imposed constraints. Here we extend geometrical optics of Brownian motion by accounting for diffusion inhomogeneity in…
The perspective camera and the isometric surface prior have recently gathered increased attention for Non-Rigid Structure-from-Motion (NRSfM). Despite the recent progress, several challenges remain, particularly the computational complexity…
Robots must reliably interact with refractive objects in many applications; however, refractive objects can cause many robotic vision algorithms to become unreliable or even fail, particularly feature-based matching applications, such as…
All current non-rigid structure from motion (NRSfM) algorithms are limited with respect to: (i) the number of images, and (ii) the type of shape variability they can handle. This has hampered the practical utility of NRSfM for many…
Rolling-shutter (RS) cameras are ubiquitous, but RS SfM (structure-from-motion) has not been fully solved yet. This work suggests an approach to remedy this: We characterize RS single-view geometry of observed world points or lines.…
We describe a categorical approach to finite noncommutative geometries. Objects in the category are spectral triples, rather than unitary equivalence classes as in other approaches. This enables to treat fluctuations of the metric and…
This paper addresses the structure-and-motion problem, that requires to find camera motion and 3D struc- ture from point matches. A new pipeline, dubbed Samantha, is presented, that departs from the prevailing sequential paradigm and…
Humans can easily segment moving objects without knowing what they are. That objectness could emerge from continuous visual observations motivates us to model grouping and movement concurrently from unlabeled videos. Our premise is that a…
We consider a transformation of a normalized measure space such that the image of any point is a finite set. We call such transformation $m$-transformation. In this case the orbit of any point looks like a tree. In the study of…
In this study we derive a single-particle equation of motion, from first-principles, starting out with a microscopic description of a tracer particle in a one-dimensional many-particle system with a general two-body interaction potential.…
Visual odometry techniques typically rely on feature extraction from a sequence of images and subsequent computation of optical flow. This point-to-point correspondence between two consecutive frames can be costly to compute and suffers…
The theory of noncommutative geometry provides an interesting mathematical background for developing new physical models. In particular, it allows one to describe the classical Standard Model coupled to Euclidean gravity. However,…
If a (non-constant) polynomial has no zero, then a certain Riemannian metric is constructed on the two dimensional sphere. Several geometric arguments are then shown to contradict this fact.
This article adapts the framework of metamorphosis to solve inverse problems in imaging that includes joint reconstruction and image registration. The deformations in question have two components, one that is a geometric deformation moving…
