TL;DR: The Texas active vision testbed (TAVT) is used in the development of depth recovery algorithms to extend conventional active vision techniques, such as variable baseline stereo and active focus control, as well as support research in the active control of a vergent stereo geometry.

TL;DR: In this paper, a video frame containing a whiteboard image is converted into a black and white image for the detection of boundaries, where boundaries are classified as horizontal or vertical lines and quadrangles are formed using spatial arrangements of these lines.

TL;DR: The algorithm for image sequence coding presented here termed Visual Pattern Image Sequence Coding (or VPISC) exploits all of the advantages of " static" VPIC in the reduction of information from an additional (temporal) dimension to achieve unprecedented image sequences coding performance stated in terms of coding complexity compression and visual fidelity.

TL;DR: In this article , a feature set called HDRMAX features is introduced, which when included into Video Quality Assessment (VQA) algorithms designed for Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) videos, sensitizes them to distortions of High Dynamic Range videos that are inadequately accounted for by these algorithms.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel approach that uses perceptually relevant natural scene statistics (NSS) features to predict depths from monocular images in a simple, scale-agnostic way that is competitive with state-of-the-art systems is proposed.
