Occluding contour detection using affine invariants and purposive viewpoint control
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach for identifying the occluding contour and determining its sidedness using an active (i.e., moving) observer. It is based on the non-stationarity property of the visible rim: When the observer’s viewpoint is changed, the visible rim is a collection of curves that “slide,” rigidly or non-rigidly, over the surface. We show that the observer can deterministically choose three views on the tangent plane of selected surface points to distinguish such curves from stationary surface curves (i.e., surface markings). Our approach demonstrates that the occluding contour can be identified directly, i.e., without first computing surface shape (distance and curvature).

Affine Surface Reconstruction by Purposive Viewpoint Control
We present an approach for building an affine representation of an unknown curved object viewed under orthographic projection from images of its occluding contour. It is based on the observation that the projection of a point on a curved, featureless surface can be computed along a special viewing direction that does not belong to the point’s tangent plane. We show that by circumnavigating the ...
متن کاملNOTE; Deformation Invariants in Object Recognition
Another source of change is various deformations of an object that do not change its identity. If a dog gains weight, We study invariance to transformations having two components. The first is an arbitrary large affine transformation. This we still want to recognize it as the same dog. An even approximates a viewpoint change. The second is a small, but more widespread example is the boundary co...
متن کاملToward global surface reconstruction by purposive viewpoint adjustment
We consider the following problem: How should an observer change viewpoint in order to generate a dense image sequence of an arbitrary smooth surface so that it can be incrementally reconstructedusing the occluding contour and the epipolar parameterization? We present a collection of qualitative behaviors that, when integrated appropriately, purposefully control viewpoint based on the appearanc...
متن کاملBuilding Global Surface Models By Purposive and Qualitative Viewpoint Adjustment
We present an approach for recovering a global surface model of an object from the deformation of the occluding contour using an active (i.e., mobile) observer able to control its motion. In particular, we consider two problems: (1) How can the observer’s viewpoint be controlled in order to generate a dense sequence of images that allows incremental reconstruction of an unknown surface, and (2)...
متن کاملRecovering Shape by Purposive Viewpoint AdjustmentKiriakos
We present an approach for recovering surface shape from the occluding contour using an active (i.e., moving) observer. It is based on a relation between the geometries of a surface in a scene and its occluding contour: If the viewing direction of the observer is along a principal direction for a surface point whose projection is on the contour , surface shape (i.e., curvature) at the surface p...
