Shape-from-Silhouettes Algorithm with Built-in Occlusion Detection and Removal
نویسندگان
چکیده
Occlusion and inferior foreground/background segmentation still poses a big problem to 3D reconstruction from a set of images in a multi-camera system because it has a destructive nature on the reconstruction if one or more of the cameras do not see the object properly. We propose a method to obtain a 3D reconstruction which takes into account the possibility of occlusion by combining the information of all cameras in the multicamera setup. The proposed algorithm tries to find a consensus of geometrical predicates that most cameras can agree on. The results show a performance with an average error lower than 2cm on the centroid of a person in case of perfect input silhouettes. We also show that tracking results are significantly improved in a room with a lot of occlusion.

A Semi-Automated Algorithm for Segmentation of the Left Atrial Appendage Landing Zone: Application in Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Procedures
Background: Mechanical occlusion of the Left atrial appendage (LAA) using a purpose-built device has emerged as an effective prophylactic treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation at risk of stroke and a contraindication for anticoagulation. A crucial step in procedural planning is the choice of the device size. This is currently based on the manual analysis of the “Device Landing Zone” fr...
متن کاملOnline multiple people tracking-by-detection in crowded scenes
Multiple people detection and tracking is a challenging task in real-world crowded scenes. In this paper, we have presented an online multiple people tracking-by-detection approach with a single camera. We have detected objects with deformable part models and a visual background extractor. In the tracking phase we have used a combination of support vector machine (SVM) person-specific classifie...
متن کاملMorphological Exudate Detection in Retinal Images using PCA-based Optic Disc Removal
Diabetic retinopathy lesion detection such as exudate in fundus image of retina can lead to early diagnosis of the disease. Retinal image includes dark areas such as main blood vessels and retinal tissue and also bright areas such as optic disk, optical fibers and lesions e.g. exudate. In this paper, a multistage algorithm for the detection of exudate in foreground is proposed. The algorithm se...
متن کاملBackpack: Detection of People Carrying Objects using Silhouettes
We described a video-rate surveillance algorithm to detect and track people from a stationary camera, and to determine if they are carrying objects or moving unencumbered. The contribution of the paper is the shape analysis algorithm that both determines if a person is carrying an object and segments the object from the person so that it can be tracked, e.g., during an exchange of objects betwe...
متن کامل3-Dimensional Tracking of Multiple Object Motions from Multi-view Images by Mixed-state CONDENSATION Algorithm
In this paper, we propose an efficient method for tracking multiple objects, which deals with occlusion situations in an image. We use Shape from silhouettes method to reconstruct objects 3D position from images taken from different directions. Then we track the objects' reconstructed 3D positions by using mixed-state CONDENSATION algorithm. The experimental results show the robust tracking of ...
