A gesture recognition system (GRS) is comprised of a gesture, gesture-capture device
(sensor), tracking algorithm (for motion capture), feature extraction, and classification …

Many applications require tracking of complex 3D objects. These include visual servoing of
robotic arms on specific target objects, Augmented Reality systems that require real-time …

This survey is mainly motivated by the increased availability and use of panoramic image
acquisition devices, in computer vision and various of its applications. Different technologies …

We present a theory and algorithms for a generic calibration concept that is based on the
following recently introduced general imaging model. An image is considered as a collection …

This paper proposes a unified theory for calibrating a wide variety of camera models such as
pinhole, fisheye, cata-dioptric, and multi-camera networks. We model any camera as a set of …

Camera calibration is an essential first step in setting up 3D Computer Vision systems.
Commonly used parametric camera models are limited to a few degrees of freedom and …

Recent methods for 3D reconstruction and rendering increasingly benefit from end-to-end
optimization of the entire image formation process. However, this approach is currently …

We consider the structure-from-motion problem for a highly general imaging model where
cameras are modeled as possibly unconstrained sets of projection rays. This allows to …

Young children with visual impairments greatly benefit from tactile graphics (illustrations,
images, puzzles, objects) during their learning processes. In this paper we present insight …

Conventional vision systems and algorithms assume the imaging system to have a single
viewpoint. However, these imaging systems need not always maintain a single viewpoint …
