A critique of structure-from-motion algorithms

J Oliensis - Computer Vision and Image Understanding, 2000 - Elsevier
I review current approaches to structure from motion (SFM) and suggest a framework for
designing new algorithms. The discussion focuses on reconstruction rather than on …

On event-based optical flow detection

T Brosch, S Tschechne, H Neumann - Frontiers in neuroscience, 2015 - frontiersin.org
Event-based sensing, ie, the asynchronous detection of luminance changes, promises low-
energy, high dynamic range, and sparse sensing. This stands in contrast to whole image …

Requirements for motion estimation in image sequences for traffic applications

MB Van Leeuwen, FCA Groen… - IMTC/99. Proceedings of …, 1999 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In traffic applications research in devices that can increase the safety and comfort of vehicles
is an important topic. In this paper a digital rear-view mirror is presented that helps the driver …

An introduction to the log-polar map** [image sampling]

H Araujo, JM Dias - Proceedings II Workshop on Cybernetic …, 1996 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
One interesting feature of the human visual system is the topological transformation of the
retinal image into its cortical projection. The excitation of the cortex can be approximated by …

Understanding noise sensitivity in structure from motion

K Daniilidis, ME Spetsakis - Visual Navigation, 2013 - taylorfrancis.com
Solutions to the structure from motion problem have been shown to be very sensitive to
measurement noise and the respective motion and geometry configuration. Statistical error …

Fixation simplifies 3D motion estimation

K Daniilidis - Computer Vision and Image Understanding, 1997 - Elsevier
Fixation is defined as holding the gaze direction towards the same environmental point
through time. It was proven in the past that fixation reduces the number of unknowns in …

[PDF][PDF] Seeing and understanding: Representing the visual world

Y Aloimonos, C Fermueller, A Rosenfeld - ACM Computing Surveys …, 1995 - dl.acm.org
Most research in computational vision has concentrated on efforts to recover three-
dimensional(3D) metric structure from images. This may be because research communities …

Direct perception of three-dimensional motion from patterns of visual motion

C Fermüller, Y Aloimonos - Science, 1995 - science.org
Measurements of retinal motion along a set of predetermined orientations on the retina of a
moving system give rise to global patterns. Because the form and location of these patterns …

Vision and action

C Fermüller, Y Aloimonos - Image and vision computing, 1995 - Elsevier
Our work on active vision has recently focused on the computational modelling of
navigational tasks, where our investigations were guided by the idea of approaching vision …

Observability of 3D motion

C Fermüller, Y Aloimonos - International Journal of Computer Vision, 2000 - Springer
This paper examines the inherent difficulties in observing 3D rigid motion from image
sequences. It does so without considering a particular estimator. Instead, it presents a …
