3D watertight mesh generation with uncertainties from ubiquitous data

logo.png

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a generic framework for watertight mesh generation with uncertainties that provides a confidence measure on each reconstructed mesh triangle. Its input is a set of vision-based or Lidar-based 3D measurements which are converted to a set of mass functions that characterize the level of …

Second order MRF with QPBO Optimization

Second order Markov random field is dedicated to models scenes composed by plan, which is good for urban scenes for example. Maximizing a MRF energy can be formulated as minimizing a function. It is known that it is not possible to find which set of label minimize the energy related …

Extending α-expansion to a larger set of regularization functions

logo.png

Abstract

Many problems of image processing lead to the minimization of an energy, which is a function of one or several given images, with respect to a binary or multi-label image. When this energy is made of unary data terms and of pairwise regularization terms, and when the pairwise regularization …

Graduate non convexity approach for robust fitting

newtongnc.gif

This example shows the estimation of the mean with the graduate non convexity approach using a newton optimization at each step for locally minimizing the energy. Green points are a realization of a normal distribution (vertical line shows the mean), red crosses are outliers. The blue line is the normalized …

Quadratic pseudo boolean optimization introduction

Graph-based algorithms have been used for a decade in many applications for optimization. It produces very good results. First used empirically in image processing, it has been shown that graph-based approach algorithms in image processing are a reduction of optimizing pseudo Boolean function in binary case. In pseudo Boolean optimization …

Daytime Fog Detection and Density Estimation with Entropy Minimisation

logo.png

Abstract

The fog disturbs the proper image processing of many outdoor observation tools. For instance, fog reduces the obstacle v isibility in vehicle driving applications. Usually, the estimation of t he amount of fog in the scene image allows to greatly improve t he image processing, and thus to better …

Markov Random Field Model for Single Image Defogging

logo.png

Abstract

Fog reduces contrast and thus the visibility of vehicles and obstacles for drivers. Each year, this causes traffic accidents. Fog is caused by a high concentration of very fine water droplets in the air. When light hits these droplets, it is scattered and this results in a dense white …
