Quantitative Analysis of Saliency Models
Previous saliency detection research required the reader to evaluate
performance qualitatively, based on renderings of saliency maps on a few
shapes. This qualitative approach meant it was unclear which saliency models
were better, or how well they compared to human perception. This paper provides
a quantitative evaluation framework that addresses this issue. In the first
quantitative analysis of 3D computational saliency models, we evaluate four
computational saliency models and two baseline models against ground-truth
saliency collected in previous work.Comment: 10 page

General Dynamic Scene Reconstruction from Multiple View Video
This paper introduces a general approach to dynamic scene reconstruction from
multiple moving cameras without prior knowledge or limiting constraints on the
scene structure, appearance, or illumination. Existing techniques for dynamic
scene reconstruction from multiple wide-baseline camera views primarily focus
on accurate reconstruction in controlled environments, where the cameras are
fixed and calibrated and background is known. These approaches are not robust
for general dynamic scenes captured with sparse moving cameras. Previous
approaches for outdoor dynamic scene reconstruction assume prior knowledge of
the static background appearance and structure. The primary contributions of
this paper are twofold: an automatic method for initial coarse dynamic scene
segmentation and reconstruction without prior knowledge of background
appearance or structure; and a general robust approach for joint segmentation
refinement and dense reconstruction of dynamic scenes from multiple
wide-baseline static or moving cameras. Evaluation is performed on a variety of
indoor and outdoor scenes with cluttered backgrounds and multiple dynamic
non-rigid objects such as people. Comparison with state-of-the-art approaches
demonstrates improved accuracy in both multiple view segmentation and dense
reconstruction. The proposed approach also eliminates the requirement for prior
knowledge of scene structure and appearance
