The problem of feature-based surface reconstruction is considered in this paper. Our main contribution is the ability to handle visibility constraints, obtained from the projections of points, curves and silhouettes, in the surface fitting process. While traditional methods often ignore such information, we show that visibility constraints not only give better initial surface estimates and faster convergence, but also provide an important cue for determining surface topology. The problem is cast as a variational problem with constraints within the levelset framework. It is shown how to evolve the surface without violating the visibility constraints using methods from variational calculus. Applications of the theory are detailed for a number of important cases of geometric primitives: points, curves and visual hulls. Several experiments on real image sequences are given to demonstrate the performance of the approach.
We present a novel variational model to find shape-based correspondences between two sets of level curves. While the usual correspondence techniques work with parametrized curves, we use a level-set formulation that e...

Video registration without meta data (camera location, viewing angles, and reference DEMs) is still a challenging problem. With the aim of handling this kind of problem, this paper presents an adaptive region expansion approach to propagate the alignment process from high confidence areas (reliable salient features) to low confidence areas and to simultaneously remove outlier regions. Hence, we re-cast the image registration problem as a partitioning problem such that we determine the optimal supporting regions and their corresponding motion parameters for the registration. First, we determine sparse robust correspondences between mission and reference images by using our wide baseline algorithm. Next, starting from the seed regions, the aligned areas are expanded to the whole overlapping areas using the graph cut algorithm, which is controlled by the levelset representation of the previous region shape. Consequently, a robust video registration is achieved if the scene can be represented by one homography. Furthermore, we extend this approach to multi-homography video registration problem for 3D scenes, which cannot be directly solved by the current alignment methods. Using our motion layer extraction algorithm, the mission video first is segmented into several layers, then each layer is respectively aligned to the reference image by employing the region expansion algorithm. Several examples are demonstrated in the experiments to show that our approach is effective and robust.
