Detecting and Reconstructing 3D Mirror Symmetric Objects

چکیده
We present a system that detects 3D mirror-symmetric objects in images and then reconstructs their visible symmetric parts. Our detection stage is based on matching mirror symmetric feature points and descriptors and then estimating the symmetry direction using RANSAC. We enhance this step by augmenting feature descriptors with their affinedeformed versions and matching these extended sets of descriptors. The reconstruction stage uses a novel edge matching algorithm that matches symmetric pairs of curves that are likely to be counterparts. This allows the algorithm to reconstruct lightly textured objects, which are problematic for traditional feature-based and intensity-based stereo matchers.

Quantitative Analysis of Continuous Symmetry
Symmetry is typically viewed as a discrete feature: an object is either symmetric or non-symmetric. However visual perception treats symmetry as a continuous feature, relating to statements such asòne object is MORE symmetric than another' oràn object is MORE mirror symmetric than rotational symmetric'. With this notion in mind, we view symmetry as a continuous feature and dene a Continuous Sym...
متن کاملBinocular 3D Object Recovery Using a Symmetry Prior
We present a new algorithm for 3D shape reconstruction from stereo image pairs that uses mirror symmetry as a biologically inspired prior. 3D reconstruction requires some form of prior because it is an ill-posed inverse problem. Psychophysical research shows that mirror-symmetry is a key prior for 3D shape perception in humans, suggesting that a general purpose solution to this problem will hav...
متن کاملStructure, Pose and Motion of Bilateral Symmetric Objects
This paper concerns the determination of structure and pose of bilateral symmetric objects from a single perspective view. The estimation of 3-D inter-frame motion of such objects is also addressed. Particular attention is given to the interpretation of image-plane quadrilaterals as the perspective projection of bilateral symmetric trapezia. A simple algorithm is described for reconstructing a ...
متن کاملReconstruction of shapes of 3D symmetric objects by using planarity and compactness constraints [6499-10]
We present a new algorithm for reconstructing 3D shapes. The algorithm takes one 2D image of a 3D shape and reconstructs the 3D shape by applying a priori constraints: symmetry, planarity and compactness. The shape is reconstructed without using information about the surfaces, such as shading, texture, binocular disparity or motion. Performance of the algorithm is illustrated on symmetric polyh...
