Determining the position and orientation of a calibrated camera from a single image with respect to a 3D model is an essential task for many applications. When 2D-3D correspondences can be obtained reliably, perspective-n-point solvers can…

The recent years have given rise to a large number of techniques for "looking around corners", i.e., for reconstructing occluded objects from time-resolved measurements of indirect light reflections off a wall. While the direct view of…

We study the problem of assigning non-overlapping geometric objects centered at a given set of points such that the sum of area covered by them is maximized. If the points are placed on a straight-line and the objects are disks, then the…
