Creating Simplified 3D Models with High Quality Textures
This paper presents an extension to the KinectFusion algorithm which allows
creating simplified 3D models with high quality RGB textures. This is achieved
through (i) creating model textures using images from an HD RGB camera that is
calibrated with Kinect depth camera, (ii) using a modified scheme to update
model textures in an asymmetrical colour volume that contains a higher number
of voxels than that of the geometry volume, (iii) simplifying dense polygon
mesh model using quadric-based mesh decimation algorithm, and (iv) creating and
mapping 2D textures to every polygon in the output 3D model. The proposed
method is implemented in real-time by means of GPU parallel processing.
Visualization via ray casting of both geometry and colour volumes provides
users with a real-time feedback of the currently scanned 3D model. Experimental
results show that the proposed method is capable of keeping the model texture
quality even for a heavily decimated model and that, when reconstructing small
objects, photorealistic RGB textures can still be reconstructed.Comment: 2015 International Conference on Digital Image Computing: Techniques

Scalable Dense Non-rigid Structure-from-Motion: A Grassmannian Perspective
This paper addresses the task of dense non-rigid structure-from-motion
(NRSfM) using multiple images. State-of-the-art methods to this problem are
often hurdled by scalability, expensive computations, and noisy measurements.
Further, recent methods to NRSfM usually either assume a small number of sparse
feature points or ignore local non-linearities of shape deformations, and thus
cannot reliably model complex non-rigid deformations. To address these issues,
in this paper, we propose a new approach for dense NRSfM by modeling the
problem on a Grassmann manifold. Specifically, we assume the complex non-rigid
deformations lie on a union of local linear subspaces both spatially and
temporally. This naturally allows for a compact representation of the complex
non-rigid deformation over frames. We provide experimental results on several
synthetic and real benchmark datasets. The procured results clearly demonstrate
that our method, apart from being scalable and more accurate than
state-of-the-art methods, is also more robust to noise and generalizes to
highly non-linear deformations.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure, 4 tables. Accepted for publication in Conference

Probabilistic Global Scale Estimation for MonoSLAM Based on Generic Object Detection
This paper proposes a novel method to estimate the global scale of a 3D
reconstructed model within a Kalman filtering-based monocular SLAM algorithm.
Our Bayesian framework integrates height priors over the detected objects
belonging to a set of broad predefined classes, based on recent advances in
fast generic object detection. Each observation is produced on single frames,
so that we do not need a data association process along video frames. This is
because we associate the height priors with the image region sizes at image
places where map features projections fall within the object detection regions.
We present very promising results of this approach obtained on several
experiments with different object classes.Comment: Int. Workshop on Visual Odometry, CVPR, (July 2017
