چکیده

Perspective Alignment is a novel method of solving backprojection, the well-known problem of computing threedimensional (3D) position and orientation (pose) of a model from two-dimensional (2D) image features. This paper demonstrates that previous back-projection methods can violate the visibility constraint by computing solution poses in which the model occludes features which should be visible. By definition, these visibility errors are associated with incorrect pose solutions. Yet they occur frequently when previous backprojection methods are used in underconstrained situations. We empirically analyze the frequency and consequences of visibility errors in previous back-projection methods. We then show how Perspective Alignment satisfies the visibility constraint during the pose solution process to eliminate these errors. The algorithm has been implemented and used in a realtime model-based object tracking system. We describe the algorithm and results of tracking real objects in real-time. The algorithm also has implications for reducing the combinatorics of image-model feature pairing in model-based recognition.

Image alignment via kernelized feature learning

Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence that is able to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. The primary assumption for most of the machine learning algorithms is that the training set (source domain) and the test set (target domain) follow from the same probability distribution. However, in most of the real-world application...

Effect of Objective Function on the Optimization of Highway Vertical Alignment by Means of Metaheuristic Algorithms

The main purpose of this work is the comparison of several objective functions for optimization of the vertical alignment. To this end, after formulation of optimum vertical alignment problem based on different constraints, the objective function was considered as four forms including: 1) the sum of the absolute value of variance between the vertical alignment and the existing ground; 2) the su...

A Geometric View of Similarity Measures in Data Mining

The main objective of data mining is to acquire information from a set of data for prospect applications using a measure. The concerning issue is that one often has to deal with large scale data. Several dimensionality reduction techniques like various feature extraction methods have been developed to resolve the issue. However, the geometric view of the applied measure, as an additional consid...
