Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) point cloud registration is a fundamental step for many 3D
modeling and mapping applications. Existing approaches are highly disparate in the data …

Computer and Machine Vision: Theory, Algorithms, Practicalities (previously entitled
Machine Vision) clearly and systematically presents the basic methodology of computer and …

We present a general algorithm for plane-based calibration that can deal with arbitrary
numbers of views and calibration planes. The algorithm can simultaneously calibrate …

As the years passed by, computers became more powerful and automation became the
need of generation. Humans tried to automate their work and replace themselves with …

Lineament extraction from satellite remotely sensed data has been one of the widely used
applications of remote sensing in geology. In fact, recent advances in digital image …

In this paper we present a fast marker detection front end for Augmented Reality (AR)
applications. The proposed algorithm is inspired by the ARTag system and designed to be …

Roof-mounted photovoltaic systems play a critical role in the global transition to renewable
energy generation. An analysis of roof photovoltaic potential is an important tool for …

Prior approaches to line segment detection typically involve perceptual grouping in the
image domain or global accumulation in the Hough domain. Here we propose a …

The automated detection of structural elements (eg, columns and beams) from visual data
can be used to facilitate many construction and maintenance applications. The research in …

There are over 600,000 bridges in the US, and not all of them can be inspected and
maintained within the specified time frame. This is because manually inspecting bridges is a …
