Conventional structure-from-motion (SFM) research is primarily concerned with the 3D reconstruction of a single, rigidly moving object seen by a static camera, or a static and rigid scene observed by a moving camera --in both cases there…
While dense non-rigid structure from motion (NRSfM) has been extensively studied from the perspective of the reconstructability problem over the recent years, almost no attempts have been undertaken to bring it into the practical realm. The…
Refraction is a common physical phenomenon and has long been researched in computer vision. Objects imaged through a refractive object appear distorted in the image as a function of the shape of the interface between the media. This hinders…
