Shape Anchors for Data-Driven Multi-view Reconstruction
We present a data-driven method for building dense 3D reconstructions using a combination of recognition and multi-view cues. Our approach is based on the idea that there are image patches that are so distinctive that we can accurately estimate their latent 3D shapes solely using recognition. We call these patches shape anchors, and we use them as the basis of a multi-view reconstruction system that transfers dense, complex geometry between scenes. We "anchor" our 3D interpretation from these patches, using them to predict geometry for parts of the scene that are relatively ambiguous. The resulting algorithm produces dense reconstructions from stereo point clouds that are sparse and noisy, and we demonstrate it on a challenging dataset of real-world, indoor scenes.American Society for Engineering Education.

Unsupervised Deep Epipolar Flow for Stationary or Dynamic Scenes
Unsupervised deep learning for optical flow computation has achieved
promising results. Most existing deep-net based methods rely on image
brightness consistency and local smoothness constraint to train the networks.
Their performance degrades at regions where repetitive textures or occlusions
occur. In this paper, we propose Deep Epipolar Flow, an unsupervised optical
flow method which incorporates global geometric constraints into network
learning. In particular, we investigate multiple ways of enforcing the epipolar
constraint in flow estimation. To alleviate a "chicken-and-egg" type of problem
encountered in dynamic scenes where multiple motions may be present, we propose
a low-rank constraint as well as a union-of-subspaces constraint for training.
Experimental results on various benchmarking datasets show that our method
achieves competitive performance compared with supervised methods and
outperforms state-of-the-art unsupervised deep-learning methods.Comment: CVPR 201
