چکیده

Silhouettes arise in a variety of imaging scenarios. Pristine silhouettes are often degraded via blurring, detector sampling, and detector noise. We present a maximum a posteriori estimator for the restoration of parameterized facial silhouettes. Extreme dealiasing and dramatic superresolution, well beyond the diffraction limit, are demonstrated through the use of strong prior knowledge.

Comparison of Human Body Posture Estimation Method Using Silhouette Image

This paper presents human body posture estimation methods based on analysis of human silhouette and investigates their characteristics. Two types of estimation method are presented: one method is based on both the heuristically extraction method of estimating the significant points of human body and the contour analysis of the human silhouette, and the other is using artificial neural network. ...

Error Analysis for Silhouette–Based 3D Shape Estimation from Multiple Views

This paper presents an error analysis for 3D shape estimation techniques using silhouettes from multiple views (”shape–from–silhouette”). The results of this analysis are useful for the integration of other shape reconstruction techniques into the shape– from–silhouette approach and the appropriate choice of its parameters. The analysis allows an assessment of the local 3D shape error and takes...

Towards Structure and Motion Estimation from Dynamic Silhouettes

W e address the problem of estimating the structure and motion of a smooth curved object from its silhouettes observed over time by a trinocular imagery. W e first construct a model for the local structure along the silhouette for each frame in the temporal sequence. The local models are then integrated into a global surface description by estimating the motion between successive frames. The al...

Silhouettes Fusion for 3D Shapes Modeling with Ghost Object Removal

In this paper, we investigate a practical framework to compute a 3D shape estimation of multiple objects in real-time from silhouette probability maps in multi-view environments. A popular method called Shape From Silhouette (SFS), computes a 3D shape estimation from binary silhouette masks. This method has several limitations: The acquisition space is limited to the intersection of the camera ...

A Silhouette Based Human Motion Tracking System

This paper proposes a system for model based human motion estimation. We start with a human model generation system, which uses a set of input images to automatically generate a free-form surface model of a human upper torso. We subsequently determine joint locations automatically and generate a texture for the surface mesh. Following this, we present morphing and joint transformation technique...

A Novel Approach on Silhouette Based Human Motion Analysis for Gait Recognition

This paper presents a novel view independent approach on silhouette based human motion analysis for gait recognition applications. Spatio-temporal 1-D signals based on the differences between the outer of binarized silhouette of a motion object and a bounding box placed around silhouette are chosen as the basic image features called the distance vectors. The distance vectors are extracted using...
