In this paper we propose to link Markov Chain Monte Carlo – MCMC in the spirit of (Dick, Torr, and Cipolla, 2004) with information from Implicit Shape Models – ISM (Leibe and Schiele, 2004) and with Plane Sweeping (Werner and Zisserman, 2002) for the 3D interpretation of building facades, particularly for determining windows and their 3D extent. The approach starts with a (possibly uncalibrated...

CSG model manipulation also allows us to lower back-facing walls to improve visibility from a specific viewing angle (See Fig. 1). Let v be the viewing direction, for which the model is to be optimized, and denote hf and hb as the maximum height of the structure to be reconstructed for the front-facing and back-facing walls, respectively. For each primitive, we translate the primitive along eac...

was a graduate of Edinburgh University in 1927. He became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, and was very proud when he was elected Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (ad eundem) in 1959. In addition, Mr. Paul became a Fellow of the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain, and a member of the council. He was a member and past president of the Moynihan Chiru...

Media facades in urban spaces offer great potential for new forms of collaborative multi-user interaction. We present a way to directly interact with facades at-adistance through live video on mobile devices. We extend the Touch Projector interface to accommodate multiple users by showing individual content on the mobile display that would otherwise clutter the facade's canvas or distract other...

We propose a novel three-layered approach for semantic segmentation of building facades. In the first layer, starting from an oversegmentation of a facade, we employ the recently introduced machine learning technique Recursive Neural Networks (RNN) to obtain a probabilistic interpretation of each segment. In the second layer, initial labeling is augmented with the information coming from specia...

Extracting 3-dimensional structure from real-world imagery and rendering it from unrestricted viewpoints is an important problem in computer vision, and increasingly, computer graphics. Despite many years of research, a system that automatically recovers realistic 3-D models from images remains elusive; most practical systems require signiicant human input. However, unlike automatic algorithms,...
