3D Trajectories from a Single Viewpoint using Shadows
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the problem of obtaining the 3D trajectory of a ball from a sequence of images taken with a camera which is possibly rotating and zooming (but not translating). Techniques are developed to compute the component of image motion of the ball due to camera rotation and zoom, using optic flow. The 3D location of the ball in each frame of the sequence is then determined using a novel geometric construction which makes use of shadows on the known ground plane in order to compute the vertical projection of the ball onto the ground, and the height of the ball above the ground.

3 D PRIORS FOR SCENE LEARNING FROM A SINGLE VIEW By Diego Rother Kedar Patwardhan
A framework for scene learning from a single still video camera is presented in this work. In particular, the camera transformation and the direction of the shadows are learned using information extracted from pedestrians walking in the scene. The proposed approach poses the scene learning estimation as a likelihood maximization problem, efficiently solved via factorization and dynamic programm...
متن کاملOn 3-D Surface Reconstruction Using Shape from Shadows
| In this paper we discuss new results on the Shape From Darkness problem: using the motion of cast shadows to recover scene structure. Our approach is based on collecting a set of images from a xed viewpoint as a known light source moves \across the sky". Previously published solutions to this problem have performed the reconstruction only for cross sections of the scene. In this paper, we pre...
متن کاملVideo-Based Rendering Of Traffic Sequences
Video-based rendering is a viable alternative to traditional realistic image synthesis techniques. It avoids the burden of timeconsuming modeling and expensive global illumination simulation. In this paper we propose a video-based synthesis and animation system for fixed viewpoint scenes that feature rigid objects. We exemplify this by using traffic video sequences. In a first stage, we extract...
متن کاملWhat Can Casual Walkers Tell Us About The 3D Scene?
An approach for incremental learning of the 3D scene from a single static video camera is presented in this paper. In particular, we exploit the presence of casual people walking in the scene to infer relative depth, learn shadows, and segment the critical ground structure. Considering that this type of video data is so ubiquitous, this work provides an important step towards 3D scene analysis ...

(a) (b) Figure 1: (a) We exploit the visual similarity between mocap-generated trajectories (left) and dense trajectories (right) to improve cross-view action recognition. (b) For mocap-trajectories, we can easily obtain corresponding features (i.e., descriptors for trajectories that originate from the same 3D point) in two views. We use these pairs of features to learn the transformation funct...
