Mosaics acquired by pushbroom cameras, stereo panoramas, omnivergent mosaics, and spherical mosaics can be viewed as images taken by non-central cameras, i.e. cameras that project along rays that do not all intersect at one point. It has been shown that in order to reduce the correspondence search in mosaics to a one-parametric search along curves, the rays of the non-central cameras have to lie in double ruled epipolar surfaces. In this work, we introduce the oblique stereo geometry, which has nonintersecting double ruled epipolar surfaces. We analyze the configurations of mutually oblique rays that see every point in space. We call such configurations oblique cameras. We argue that oblique cameras are important because they are the most non-central cameras among all cameras. We show that oblique cameras, and the corresponding oblique stereo geometry, exist and give an example of a physically realizable oblique stereo geometry.

In this paper, we address the problem of curve and surface reconstruction from sets of points. We introduce regular interpolants which are polygonal approximations of planar curves and surfaces verifying a local sampling criterion. Properties of regular interpolants lead to new polygonal reconstruction methods from sets of organized and unorganized points. These methods do not need any parameter of additional information apart from the original points and allow unorganized sets of points to be easily handled.

The purpose of this research is to detect and enhance the recurrent nasal tumor region by computing the relative intensity difference between consecutive MR images after using a contrast agent. In this article, we apply a relative signal increase model to recognize a recurrent nasal tumor by dynamic MR images. A robust estimation technique is used to deal with matching corresponding points among different images. The active contour technique is applied to refine automatically the region of interest and obtain a more precise definition of the area of interest. The quantitative evaluation of dynamic MR data is modeled by fitting three-parameter time-intensity curves.

We present a system at the junction between computervision and computergraphics, to produce a 3-D model of an object as observed in a single image, with a minimum of high-level interaction from a user. The input to our system is a single image. First, the user points, coarsely, at image features (edges) that are subsequently automatically and reproducibly extracted in real-time. The user then performs a high level labeling of the curves (e.g. limb edge, cross-section) and specifies relations between edges (e.g. symmetry, surface or part). NURBS are used as working representation of image edges. The objects described by the user specified, qualitative relationships are then reconstructed either as a set of connected parts modeled as Generalized Cylinders, or as a set of 3-D surfaces for 3-D bilateral symmetric objects. In both cases, the texture is also extracted from the image.

This paper describes a system architecture that enables the use of different techniques of warping and morphing applied to various classes of graphical objects (images, surfaces, plane curves, volumetric data, implicit surfaces etc.) Combinations of warping and morphing techniques can lead to more powerful and expressive results. The possibility of experimenting with alternative techniques for distinct classes of graphical objects creates a very flexible and robust warping and morphing system.

Freeform parametric curves are extensively employed in various fields such as computergraphics, computervision, robotics, and geometric modeling. While many applications exploit and combine univariate freeform entities into more complex forms such as sculptured surfaces, the problem of a fair or even optimal relative parameterization of freeforms, under some norm, has been rarely considered. In this work, we present a scheme that closely approximates the optimal relative matching between two or even n given freeform curves, under a user's prescribed norm that is based on differential properties of the curves. This matching is computed as a reparameterization of n-1 of the curves that can be applied explicitly using composition. The proposed matching algorithm is completely automatic and has been successfully employed in different applications with several demonstrated herein: metamorphosis of freeform curves with feature preservations, key frame interpolation for animation, self-intersection free ruled surface construction, and automatic matching of rail curves of blending surfaces.

In this article we show how certain geometric structures which are also associated with a smooth surface evolve as the shape of the surface changes in a 1-parameter family. We concentrate on the parabolic set and its image under the Gauss map, but the same techniques also classify the changes in the dual of the surface. All these have significance for computervision, for example through their connection with specularities and apparent contours. With the aid of our complete classification, which includes all the phenomena associated with multi-contact tangent planes as well as those associated with parabolic sets, we re-examine examples given by J. Koenderink in his book (1990) under the title of Morphological Scripts. We also explain some of the connections between parabolic sets and 'ridges' of a surface, where principal curvatures achieve turning values along lines of curvature. The point of view taken is the analysis of the contact between surfaces and their tangent planes. A systematic investigation of this yields the results using singularity theory. The mathematical details are suppressed here and appear in Bruce et al. (1993).
