This paper describes a novel framework to determine the relative pose and range of a solid-
of-revolution-shaped spacecraft from a single image without any artificial beacons. The …

Image analysis and computer vision can be effectively employed to recover the three-
dimensional structure of imaged objects, together with their surface properties. In this paper …

Previous stereo-vision based methods for measuring bent tube axis usually approximate the
centerlines of image contours as the axis projection, inevitably resulting in reconstruction …

This paper presents an endoscopic vision framework for model-based 3D guidance of
surgical instruments used in robotized laparoscopic surgery. In order to develop such a …

Single view reconstruction approaches infer the structure of 3D objects or scenes from 2D
images. This is an inherently ill-posed problem. An abundance of reconstruction approaches …

We introduce a novel technique for the construction of a 3D character proxy, or canvas,
directly from a 2D cartoon drawing and a user-provided correspondingly posed 3D skeleton …

This paper presents a novel ellipse fitting method to simultaneously estimate the Euclidean
pose and structure of a surface of revolution (SOR) by minimizing the geometric reprojection …

We present an approach for camera calibration from the image of at least two circles
arranged in a coaxial way. Such a geometric configuration arises in static scenes of objects …

In this paper, we take up the long-standing problem of how to recover 3-D shapes
represented by a 2-D image, such as the image on the retina of the eye, or in a video …

In this paper, we address the problem of the pose recovery of a straight homogeneous
circular cylinder (SHCC) from its apparent contour in a single 2-D image. In many real-world …
