This research further develops the light field and lumigraph image-based rendering methods
and extends their utility. We present alternate parameterizations that permit 1) interactive …

Full-field strain and strain-rate fields of rock materials under dynamic compression were
studied by the high-speed three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) method. A …

This paper gives a new method for image rectification, the process of resampling pairs of
stereo images taken from widely differing viewpoints in order to produce a pair of “matched …

Computer vision encompasses the construction of integrated vision systems and the
application of vision to problems of real-world importance. The process of creating 3D …

The present invention is embodied in an apparatus, and related method, for detecting and
recognizing an object in an image frame. The object may be, for example, a head having …

To compute reliable dense depth maps, a stereo algorithm must preserve depth
discontinuities and avoid gross errors. In this paper, we show how simple and parallel …

Optical methods that give displacement or strain fields are now widely used in experimental
mechanics. Some of the methods can only measure in-plane displacements/strains on …

Multidimensional optical imaging systems for information processing and visualization
technologies have numerous applications in fields such as manufacturing, medical …

Traditional crack assessment methods for concrete structures are time consuming and
produce subjective results. The development of a means for automated assessment …

To give mobile robots real autonomy, and to permit them to act efficiently in a diverse,
cluttered, and changing environment, they must be equipped with powerful tools for …
