Object detection in real images or videos is challenging because the shapes and sizes of objects vary significantly according to their poses, camera viewing direction, and partial occlusion. Previous detection methods employ sliding-window-based schemes that scan windows across an image, requiring many differently shaped windows to capture shape and size variation. In order to solve this problem, we propose an object detection method using hierarchical graph-based segmentation: color-consistent parts are obtained by part-level segmentation and category-consistent regions are found using object-level segmentation. Thus we can avoid scanning a lot of windows across whole images by using part-level segmentation and robustly detect the objects of various shapes and sizes by using object-level segmentation. In addition, we evaluate detection performance using various classifiers with our detection approach.

In stereo matching, homogeneous areas, depth continuity areas, and occluded areas need more attention. Many methods try to handle pixels in homogeneous areas by propagating supports. As a result, pixels in homogeneous areas get assigned disparities inferred from the disparities of neighboring pixels. However, at the same time, pixels in depth discontinuity areas get supports from different depths and/or from occluded pixels, and resultant disparity maps are easy to be blurred. To resolve this problem, we propose a non-linear diffusion-based support aggregation method. Supports are iteratively aggregated with the support-weights, while adjusting the support-weights according to disparities to prevent incorrect supports from different depths and/or occluded pixels. As a result, the proposed method yields good results not only in homogeneous areas but also in depth discontinuity areas as the iteration goes on without the critical degradation of performance.

Given a set of surface normals, we pose a Manhattan Frame (MF) estimation problem as a consensus set maximization that maximizes the number of inliers over the rotation search space. We solve this problem through a branchand-bound framework, which mathematically guarantees a globally optimal solution. However, the computational time of conventional branch-and-bound algorithms are intractable for real-time performance. In this paper, we propose a novel bound computation method within an efficient measurement domain for MF estimation, i.e., the extended Gaussian image (EGI). By relaxing the original problem, we can compute the bounds in real-time, while preserving global optimality. Furthermore, we quantitatively and qualitatively demonstrate the performance of the proposed method for synthetic and real-world data. We also show the versatility of our approach through two applications: extension to multiple MF estimation and video stabilization.

The point ambiguity owing to the ambiguous local appearances of image points is the one of the main causes making the stereo problem difficult. Under the point ambiguity, local similarity measures are easy to be ambiguous and this results in false matches in ambiguous regions. In this paper, we present the new similarity measure to resolve the point ambiguity problem based on the idea that the distinctiveness, not the interest, is the appropriate criterion for the feature selection under the point ambiguity. The proposed similarity measure named the Distinctive Similarity Measure (DSM) is essentially based on the distinctiveness of image points and the dissimilarity between them, which are both closely related to the local appearances of image points;the distinctiveness of an image point is related to the probability of a mismatch while the dissimilarity is related to the probability of a good match. We verify the efficiency of the proposed DSM by using testbed image sets. Experimental results show that the proposed DSM is very effective and can be easily used for improving the performance of existing stereo methods under the point ambiguity.
Finding correspondences of two images taken from largely different camera configuration is a challenging problem because appearance information such as color, intensity and edge orientation histogram cannot be used. A...

Consumer devices with stereo cameras have become popular because of their low-cost depth sensing capability. However, those systems usually suffer from low imaging quality and inaccurate depth acquisition under low-light conditions. To address the problem, we present a new stereo matching method with a color and monochrome camera pair. We focus on the fundamental trade-off that monochrome cameras have much better light-efficiency than color-filtered cameras. Our key ideas involve compensating for the radiometric difference between two crossspectral images and taking full advantage of complementary data. Consequently, our method produces both an accurate depth map and high-quality images, which are applicable for various depth-aware image processing. Our method is evaluated using various datasets and the performance of our depth estimation consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
In this paper, we present a new dichromatic-based method for estimating illuminant chromaticity using a single image. In the proposed method, specular pixels are roughly extracted from an input image and projected int...
