Call for Papers

       Geometry-based methods such as stereo and structure from motion have matured over the last decade. Commercial systems now exist that reliably estimate camera calibration and motion from movies. However, these methods have had less success at 3D shape estimation and the organization of 3D data into coherent shapes - except for tightly constrained problems (e.g., architectural scenes or multi-camera calibrated stereo). This workshop will focus on how - and to what extent - these methods' limitations can be transcended. Can we obtain high accuracy, dense, and robust shape/object estimates on fairly general scenes? No single method will suffice for this, nor will active methods such as laser scanning. To estimate and organize accurate shapes for general scenes, it will be necessary to combine geometry with cues such as texture, specularity and focus, to estimate and exploit illumination and reflectance models, to organize shapes based on differential geometry and topology, and to explore new sensing methodologies. The workshop will emphasize methods that achieve robustness on real application areas through exploiting such techniques, relying only on relatively general domain constraints.

Topics of Interest

  • Combining geometry and reflectance/illumination information (e.g., combining structure from motion with shape from specularity)
  • Multi-cue registration, e.g., exploiting reflectance information in matching
  • Organizing 3D surfaces from unorganized images.
  • Exploiting differential geometry and topology or high level shape representations to organize shape
  • Illumination estimation, and its use in shape estimation
  • Robust sensor fusion
  • High level shape representations
  • Novel sensors design that contribute in multiple cue analysis
