چکیده

A method for reconstructing shape of an object from its silhouette using a mobile camera to which a gyro sensor is attached is proposed. In order to determine unknown camera positions at which images are taken, the pose information of the camera derived from the attached gyro sensor as well as silhouette of the object are used. An algorithm for computing the camera positions by an iterative process of registering silhouettes associated with viewpoints is shown. After the computation of the camera positions, the object shape is reconstructed based on the usual shape from silhouette algorithm. The camera is mobile, and thus it can take silhouette images of the object from arbitrary directions. This enables us to avoid incorrect shape reconstruction due to restricted viewing angles, which often occurs in conventional shape from silhouette methods. Several experimental results are shown.

The Recovery of Object Shape and Camera Motion using a Sensing System with a Video Camera and a Gyro Sensor

Object shape and camera motion recovery from an image sequence is a crucial issue in computer vision and many methods have been proposed by researchers. Theoretically, these methods are perfect, but they are sensitive to noise, so that in many practical situations, satisfactory results cannot be obtained. To solve this problem, we propose a shape and motion recovery method using a gyro sensor a...

Structure and Motion from Silhouettes

Silhouettes (or outlines) are often a dominant image feature, and can be extracted relatively easily and reliably. They provide rich information about both the shape and motion of an object, and are indeed the only information available in the case of smooth textureless surfaces. Nonetheless, due to the viewpoint dependence of silhouettes, they do not readily provide point correspondences, and ...

Towards A 3D Virtual Studio forHuman Appearance Capture

This paper introduces the concept of a “3D Virtual Studio” for human appearance capture, akin to the motion capture studio for human motion tracking. Ultimately the 3D Virtual Studio should enable video-realistic reconstruction of a moving person from any viewpoint. A mesh-based stereo technique is presented to reconstruct a moving person from multiple camera views. This technique optimises a s...

Visual Hull Construction, Alignment and Refinement Across Time

Visual Hull (VH) construction is a popular method of shape estimation. The method, also known as Shape from Silhouette (SFS), approximates shape of an object from multiple silhouette images by constructing an upper bound of the shape called the Visual Hull. SFS is used in many applications such as non-invasive 3D object digitization, 3D object recognition and more recently human motion tracking...

Virtual Visual Hulls: Example-Based 3D Shape Estimation from a Single Silhouette

Recovering a volumetric model of a person, car, or other object of interest from a single snapshot would be useful for many computer graphics applications. 3D model estimation in general is hard, and currently requires active sensors, multiple views, or integration over time. For a known object class, however, 3D shape can be successfully inferred from a single snapshot. We present a method for...
