Better Feature Tracking Through Subspace Constraints
Feature tracking in video is a crucial task in computer vision. Usually, the
tracking problem is handled one feature at a time, using a single-feature
tracker like the Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi algorithm, or one of its derivatives.
While this approach works quite well when dealing with high-quality video and
"strong" features, it often falters when faced with dark and noisy video
containing low-quality features. We present a framework for jointly tracking a
set of features, which enables sharing information between the different
features in the scene. We show that our method can be employed to track
features for both rigid and nonrigid motions (possibly of few moving bodies)
even when some features are occluded. Furthermore, it can be used to
significantly improve tracking results in poorly-lit scenes (where there is a
mix of good and bad features). Our approach does not require direct modeling of
the structure or the motion of the scene, and runs in real time on a single CPU
core.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures. CVPR 201
Non-rigid Reconstruction with a Single Moving RGB-D Camera
We present a novel non-rigid reconstruction method using a moving RGB-D
camera. Current approaches use only non-rigid part of the scene and completely
ignore the rigid background. Non-rigid parts often lack sufficient geometric
and photometric information for tracking large frame-to-frame motion. Our
approach uses camera pose estimated from the rigid background for foreground
tracking. This enables robust foreground tracking in situations where large
frame-to-frame motion occurs. Moreover, we are proposing a multi-scale
deformation graph which improves non-rigid tracking without compromising the
quality of the reconstruction. We are also contributing a synthetic dataset
which is made publically available for evaluating non-rigid reconstruction
methods. The dataset provides frame-by-frame ground truth geometry of the
scene, the camera trajectory, and masks for background foreground. Experimental
results show that our approach is more robust in handling larger frame-to-frame
motions and provides better reconstruction compared to state-of-the-art
approaches.Comment: Accepted in International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR
