3D object representation

3D object representation using canonical views

Two methods for comparing different views of the same object

Tom

Dwarf

ZDF

partitioning the viewing hemisphere of 3D object in areas of similar views - aspect bubbles

comparison of tracking and matching techniques for bubbles generating (utilizing Gabor wavelets)

distribution of areas of view bubbles for TOM sequence for tracking and matching. Warmer colors encode larger areas of view bubbles.

matching tracking

example of generated aspect bubbles (blue ellipses)

this work was part of the research hold in Institute of Neuroinformatics, Ruhr University, Bochum, Germany (G. Peters and Prof. C. von der Malsburg).

The topic is covered by G. Peters, B. Zitova, C. von der Malsburg, "How to Measure the Pose Robustness of Object Views" Image and Vision Computing, Vol. 20 (4), pp. 249-256, 2002.
