The basic condition governing the interpretation of a proform is that it must...

This paper presents a new algorithm for object pose and shape estimation from multiple views. Using a qualitative shape recovery scheme we first segment the image into parts which belong to a vocabulary of primitives. Based on the additional constraints provided by the qualitative shapes we extend our physics-based framework to allow object pose and shape estimation from stereo images where the...
