Class-based grouping in perspective images
Andrew Zisserman,Joseph L. Mundy,David Forsyth,J. Liu,Nic Pillow,Charlie Rothwell,Sven Utcke +6 more
TL;DR: The key idea here is that a geometric class defined in 3D induces relationships in the image which must hold between points on the image outline (the perspective projection of the object) to enable both identification and grouping of image features belonging to objects of that class.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Grouping based on projective geometry constraints and uncertainty
TL;DR: This paper shows that starting with the individual edgel's uncertainty it is possible to calculate covariance-information for all derived quantities, which can be used to choose between competing algorithms, not only as an aid during the recognition process, but also during the decision-making process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Viewpoint-invariant representation of generalized cylinders using the symmetry set
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that viewpoint-invariant representations can be obtained from images for a useful class of 3D smooth object, which includes canal surfaces and surfaces of revolution, and are used as the basis for a model-based object recognition system.
Book ChapterDOI
An Experimental Comparison of Appearance and Geometric Model Based Recognition
Joseph L. Mundy,A. Liu,Nic Pillow,Andrew Zisserman,Samer M. Abdallah,Sven Utcke,Shree K. Nayar,Charlie Rothwell +7 more
TL;DR: An experimental investigation of the recognition performance of two approaches to the representation of objects for recognition by constructing an eigenvector space to compute efficiently the distance between a new image and any image in the database.
Book ChapterDOI
Projective Reconstruction of Surfaces of Revolution
Sven Utcke,Andrew Zisserman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of recovering the generating curve of a surface of revolution from a single uncalibrated perspective view, based solely on the object's outline and two (partly) visible cross-sections, is addressed.
