Coplanarity is a relationship of a set of points that exist on a single plane. Coplanarities can be easily observed in a scene with planer surfaces, and these types of coplanarities have been widely used for 3D reconstructions based on geometrical constraints. Other types of coplanarities that can be observed from images are those observed as cross sections of planes and scenes; for example, po...

We consider dynamic scenes consisting of moving points whose motion is constrained to happen in one of a pencil of planes. This is for example the case when rigid objects move independently, but on a common ground plane (each point moves in one of a pencil of planes parallel to the ground plane). We consider stereo pairs of the dynamic scene, taken by a moving stereo system, that allow to obtai...

3D reconstructions allow cultural institutions such as museums and historic sites a tool to vividly illustrate the past while educating the public about competing interpretations of history and change over time. 3D technology also offers many practical benefits including low cost, flexibility, and the potential for collaboration. This paper presents potential applications of 3D reconstructions ...

This paper presents an application of photogrammetry on ceramic fragments from two excavation sites located north-west of France. The restitution by photogrammetry of these different fragments allowed reconstructions of the potteries in their original state or at least to get to as close as possible. We used the 3D reconstructions to compute some metrics and to generate a presentation support b...

This issue discusses methods to extract three-dimensional (3D) models from plain images. In particular, the 3D information is obtained from images for which the camera parameters are unknown. The principles underlying such uncalibrated structure-from-motion methods are outlined. First, a short review of 3D acquisition technologies puts such methods in a wider context and highlights their import...

The interest on acquiring player and ball data during soccer games is increasing in several domains such as media or training. Consequently, tracking systems are becoming widely used for live data gathering. However, due to costs, stadium infrastructure, media rights etc. there is a trend for stand-alone mobile low-cost soccer tracking systems. The drawback of such systems is that generally onl...

The study of sign languages provides a wide field of applications for computer vision systems, but the analysis of such gestures often leads to complex 3D reconstructions or to ambiguities. In this paper, we describe the architecture of an image analysis system that performs sign language analysis by using a prediction/verification approach. The system integrates a model of the sign language’s ...

The recognition of people orientation in single images is still an open issue in several real cases, when the image resolution is poor, body parts cannot be distinguished and localized or motion cannot be exploited. However, the estimation of a person orientation, even an approximated one, could be very useful to improve people tracking and re-identification systems, or to provide a coarse alig...

The implementation of a Structure-from-Motion (SfM) pipeline from a synthetically generated scene as well as the investigation of the faithfulness of diverse reconstructions is the subject of this project. A series of different SfM reconstructions are implemented and their camera pose estimations are being contrasted with their respective ground truth locations. Finally, injection of ground tru...

today radiology and imaging are the only and main method to generate geometrical data from body. 3d model of the body will give us the best and reliable information for better understanding and diagnostic. on the other hand with development of cad/cam and rapid prototyping, the 3d printers were born to build 3d models without considering the geometry. today the 3d printers are able to makes a 3...
