چکیده

This paper addresses the problem of estimating the shape of an actor in a multi-camera studio for arbitrarily positioned cameras and arbitrary human pose. We adopt a seamless articulated mesh model and introduce a novel shape matching technique to automatically transform the projected shape of the model to match multiple captured image silhouettes. Our approach treats the projected mesh as a deformable model and constrains the model to follow a smooth shape transformation to match each image silhouette. Multiple 2D transformations are integrated in 3D to update the shape of the model to match the actor. We assess the technique using virtual views generated for 3D scanned human data-sets and present preliminary results in a studio.

Combined discriminative and generative articulated pose and non-rigid shape estimation

Estimation of three-dimensional articulated human pose and motion from images is a central problem in computer vision. Much of the previous work has been limited by the use of crude generative models of humans represented as articulated collections of simple parts such as cylinders. Automatic initialization of such models has proved difficult and most approaches assume that the size and shape o...

Joint Camera Pose Estimation and 3D Human Pose Estimation in a Multi-camera Setup

In this paper we propose an approach to jointly perform camera pose estimation and human pose estimation from videos recorded by a set of cameras separated by wide baselines. Multi-camera pose estimation is very challenging in case of wide baselines or in general when patch-based feature correspondences are difficult to establish across images. For this reason, we propose to exploit the motion ...

Ball Trajectory Estimation and Robot Control to Reach the Ball Using Single Camera

In robotics research, catching a projectile object with a robotic system is one of the challenging problems. The outcome of these researches can be used in a wide range of applications such as video surveillance systems, analysis of sports videos, monitoring programs for human activities, and human-machine interactions. In this paper, we propose a new vision-based algorithm to estimate the traj...

Camera Pose Estimation in Unknown Environments using a Sequence of Wide-Baseline Monocular Images

In this paper, a feature-based technique for the camera pose estimation in a sequence of wide-baseline images has been proposed. Camera pose estimation is an important issue in many computer vision and robotics applications, such as, augmented reality and visual SLAM. The proposed method can track captured images taken by hand-held camera in room-sized workspaces with maximum scene depth of 3-4...
