This tutorial reviews image alignment and image stitching algorithms. Image alignment
algorithms can discover the correspondence relationships among images with varying …

The Internet has become an unprecedented source of visual information about our world,
with millions of people uploading photos and videos to media-sharing sites at staggering …

Humans perceive the three-dimensional structure of the world with apparent ease. However,
despite all of the recent advances in computer vision research, the dream of having a …

We present a system that supports an augmented shared visual space for live mobile remote
collaboration on physical tasks. The remote user can explore the scene independently of the …

Virtual exploration tools for large indoor environments (eg museums) have so far been
limited to either blueprint-style 2D maps that lack photo-realistic views of scenes, or ground …

It is known that the problem of multiview reconstruction can be solved in two steps: first
estimate camera rotations and then translations using them. This paper presents new robust …

Our aim is to give users real-time free-viewpoint rendering of real indoor scenes, captured
with off-the-shelf equipment such as a high-quality color camera and a commodity depth …

In many computer vision systems, it is assumed that the image brightness of a point directly
reflects the scene radiance of the point. However, the assumption does not hold in most …

Augmented reality annotations and virtual scene navigation add new dimensions to remote
collaboration. In this paper, we present a touchscreen interface for creating freehand …

Image-based rendering (IBR) refers to a collection of techniques and representations that
allow 3D scenes and objects to be visualized in a realistic way without full 3D model …
