3D User-Created Content in Saarbruecken
Well actually Anton van den Hengel gave a talk at the Max Planck Center for Visual Computing and Communication in Saarbreuken (Germany) about 3D User-Created Content (3DUCC). Anton was in Saarbrueken visiting the Computer Graphics Department of Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik there, and particularly the group of Dr. Thorsten Thormaehlen. Thorsten was instrumental in the development of Videotrace […]

Robust Model Fitting
Numerous problems in Computer Vision can be reduced to fitting a generic model onto observed data or measurements. An example is identifying 2D shapes (e.g. lines, circles) in an image, where the model is a geometrical structure defined by a few parameters (e.g. slope and intercept, center and radius), and fitting the model onto the […]
