Temporally coherent 4D reconstruction of complex dynamic scenes
This paper presents an approach for reconstruction of 4D temporally coherent
models of complex dynamic scenes. No prior knowledge is required of scene
structure or camera calibration allowing reconstruction from multiple moving
cameras. Sparse-to-dense temporal correspondence is integrated with joint
multi-view segmentation and reconstruction to obtain a complete 4D
representation of static and dynamic objects. Temporal coherence is exploited
to overcome visual ambiguities resulting in improved reconstruction of complex
scenes. Robust joint segmentation and reconstruction of dynamic objects is
achieved by introducing a geodesic star convexity constraint. Comparative
evaluation is performed on a variety of unstructured indoor and outdoor dynamic
scenes with hand-held cameras and multiple people. This demonstrates
reconstruction of complete temporally coherent 4D scene models with improved
nonrigid object segmentation and shape reconstruction.Comment: To appear in The IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern

Enhanced tracking and recognition of moving objects by reasoning about spatio-temporal continuity.
A framework for the logical and statistical analysis and annotation of dynamic scenes containing occlusion and other uncertainties is presented. This framework consists
of three elements; an object tracker module, an object recognition/classification module and a logical consistency, ambiguity and error reasoning engine. The principle behind the object tracker and object recognition modules is to reduce error by increasing ambiguity (by merging objects in close proximity and presenting multiple
hypotheses). The reasoning engine deals with error, ambiguity and occlusion in a unified framework to produce a hypothesis that satisfies fundamental constraints
on the spatio-temporal continuity of objects. Our algorithm finds a globally consistent model of an extended video sequence that is maximally supported by a voting function based on the output of a statistical classifier. The system results
in an annotation that is significantly more accurate than what would be obtained
by frame-by-frame evaluation of the classifier output. The framework has been implemented
and applied successfully to the analysis of team sports with a single
camera.
