S Chen, Y Li, NM Kwok - The International Journal of …, 2011 - journals.sagepub.com
In this paper we provide a broad survey of developments in active vision in robotic
applications over the last 15 years. With increasing demand for robotic automation, research …

A theory of shape by space carving

KN Kutulakos, SM Seitz - International journal of computer vision, 2000 - Springer
In this paper we consider the problem of computing the 3D shape of an unknown, arbitrarily-
shaped scene from multiple photographs taken at known but arbitrarily-distributed …

Plan3d: Viewpoint and trajectory optimization for aerial multi-view stereo reconstruction

B Hepp, M Nießner, O Hilliges - ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG), 2018 - dl.acm.org
We introduce a new method that efficiently computes a set of viewpoints and trajectories for
high-quality 3D reconstructions in outdoor environments. Our goal is to automatically …

Active recognition through next view planning: a survey

SD Roy, S Chaudhury, S Banerjee - Pattern Recognition, 2004 - Elsevier
3-D object recognition involves using image-computable features to identify 3-D object. A
single view of a 3-D object may not contain sufficient features to recognize it unambiguously …

On the optimal placement of cameras for surveillance and the underlying set cover problem

J Kritter, M Brévilliers, J Lepagnot, L Idoumghar - Applied Soft Computing, 2019 - Elsevier
Given a delimited surveillance area, represented in either 2D or 3D, and a set of feasible
camera locations and orientations, the optimal camera placement problem (OCP) is that of …

Projective visual hulls

S Lazebnik, Y Furukawa, J Ponce - International Journal of Computer …, 2007 - Springer
This article presents a novel method for computing the visual hull of a solid bounded by a
smooth surface and observed by a finite set of cameras. The visual hull is the intersection of …

A general method for sensor planning in multi-sensor systems: Extension to random occlusion

A Mittal, LS Davis - International journal of computer vision, 2008 - Springer
Abstract Systems utilizing multiple sensors are required in many domains. In this paper, we
specifically concern ourselves with applications where dynamic objects appear randomly …

Plenoptic image editing

SM Seitz, KN Kutulakos - International Journal of Computer Vision, 2002 - Springer
This paper presents a new class of interactive image editing operations designed to
maintain consistency between multiple images of a physical 3D scene. The distinguishing …

Automatic model construction and pose estimation from photographs using triangular splines

S Sullivan, J Ponce - IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis …, 1998 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
