In this paper we examine the concept of redundancy and how it can improve the scene interpretation. In our work, we focus on redundant sets of street-side images. Semantic segmentation is performed on each image. Results of the segmentation are compared in overlapping images and matched. We use two principally different datasets to validate our results. The Industrial System dataset is taken from a moving car by well-designed, calibrated, automated cameras, with the geometry and pattern of the images accurately defined. Our second dataset (Tummelplatz-graz) was taken by a hand-held camera in an urban environment, following the "crowd-sourcing" paradigm. Each database provides its typical level of redundancy and different approaches are needed for image matching. The annotated Tummelplatz-graz database will be also released for public to make further references and comparison easier.

In this paper we present a novel system for segmentation refine-ment, which allows for interactive correction of surface models generated from imperfect automatic segmentations of arbitrary volumetric data. The proposed approach is based on a deformable surface model allowing interactive manipulation with a hybrid user interface consisting of an immersive stereoscopic display and a Tablet PC. The user interface features visualization methods and manipulation tools specifically designed for quick inspection and correction of typical defects resulting from automated segmentation of medical datasets. A number of experiments show that typical segmentation problems can be fixed within a few minutes using the system, while maintaining real-time responsiveness of the system. Copyright 2006 ACM.

Real-time three-dimensional acquisition of real-world scenes has many important applications in computergraphics, computervision and human-computer interaction. Inexpensive depth sensors such as the Microsoft Kinect allow to leverage the development of such applications. However, this technology is still relatively recent, and no detailed studies on its scalability to dense and view-independent acquisition have been reported. This paper addresses the question of what can be done with a larger number of Kinects used simultaneously. We describe an interference-reducing physical setup, a calibration procedure and an extension to the KinectFusion algorithm, which allows to produce high quality volumetric reconstructions from multiple Kinects whilst overcoming systematic errors in the depth measurements. We also report on enhancing image based visual hull rendering by depth measurements, and compare the results to KinectFusion. Our system provides practical insight into achievable spatial and radial range and into bandwidth requirements for depth data acquisition. Finally, we present a number of practical applications of our system. Copyright 2012 ACM.

Many security documents contain machine readable zones (MRZ) for automatic inspection. An MRZ is intended to be read by dedicated machinery, which often requires a stationary setup. Although MRZ information can also be read using camera phones, current solutions require the user to align the document, which is rather tedious. We propose a real-time algorithm for MRZ detection and recognition on off-the-shelf mobile devices. In contrast to state-of-the-art solutions, we do not impose position restrictions on the document. Our system can instantly produce robust reading results from a large range of viewpoints, making it suitable for document verification or classification. We evaluate the proposed algorithm using a large synthetic database on a set of off-the-shelf smartphones. The obtained results prove that our solution is capable of achieving good reading accuracy despite using largely unconstrained viewpoints and mobile devices.
Many virtual mirror and telepresence applications require novel viewpoint synthesis with little latency to user motion. Image-based visual hull (IBVH) rendering is capable of rendering arbitrary views from segmented i...

While many recent hand pose estimation methods critically rely on a training set of labelled frames, the creation of such a dataset is a challenging task that has been overlooked so far. As a result, existing datasets are limited to a few sequences and individuals, with limited accuracy, and this prevents these methods from delivering their full potential. We propose a semi-automated method for efficiently and accurately labeling each frame of a hand depth video with the corresponding 3D locations of the joints: The user is asked to provide only an estimate of the 2D reprojections of the visible joints in some reference frames, which are automatically selected to minimize the labeling work by efficiently optimizing a sub-modular loss function. We then exploit spatial, temporal, and appearance constraints to retrieve the full 3D poses of the hand over the complete sequence. We show that this data can be used to train a recent state-of-the-art hand pose estimation method, leading to increased accuracy.
