Title:      Image-Based Modeling via Joint Analysis of Image and Shape
Collections

Abstract:

In this talk, we will discuss an approach to automatic 3D reconstruction of
objects from images. Our approach is designed to reconstruct objects when
traditional multi-view techniques do not apply. The key idea is to jointly
analyze a collection of images of different objects along with a smaller
collection of available 3D models. The images are analyzed and
reconstructed together, based on dense pixel-level correspondences that
interlink all images and shapes. We show that joint analysis yields
significant accuracy gains throughout the reconstruction pipeline.
Experimental results demonstrate the accuracy of the presented approach.

Research at TTIC Seminar Series

TTIC is hosting a weekly seminar series presenting the research currently
underway at the Institute. Every week a different TTIC faculty member will
present their research.  The lectures are intended both for students
seeking research topics and adviser, and for the general TTIC and
University of Chicago communities interested in hearing what their
colleagues are up to.

To receive announcements about the seminar series, please subscribe to the
mailing list: https://groups.google.com/a/ttic.edu/group/talks/subscribe
