▼ This thesis presents work to improve open source 3D reconstruction software OpenMVG and to create a novel algorithm to render photorealistic images from new views given a photo collection and 3D point cloud. First, the original OpenMVG is parallelized using GPU and its data structure is optimized. Moreover, we integrated the MatchMiner algorithm into OpenMVG to further improve its efficiency. Last but not least, an initial pair selection formulation and a default focal length setting are introduced and implemented to automize OpenMVG. Then 3D sparse point clouds of construction sites are reconstructed by performing Structure-from-Motion (SfM) with the improved version of OpenMVG and source images (images that are used in SfM) are calibrated and registered to point clouds. Furukawa's Patch-based Multi-view Stereo(PMVS) algorithm is used to reconstruct dense point clouds using calibrated cameras as inputs. With known depth values of 3D points in the dense point cloud, we estimate depth maps of source images using optimization similar to Levin's colorization algorithm. For a novel view of the point cloud, we find source images that share some common elements of the construction site that are also visible to the novel view. Then we warp depth maps of these candidate images to the novel view. We estimate a depth map and label pixels for the novel view by solving a multi-label Markov Random Field (MRF) optimization problem using graph-cuts. We introduce a novel energy minimization formulation exploits both 2D and 3D information. Finally, a photorealistic image of the novel view is rendered by copying pixel colors from selected candidate source images using pixel labels computed with graph-cuts. We experimentally validate our approach on several challenging viewing angles of a point cloud model of a complicate construction site. The rendered results show high photo-realistic synthesis quality in planar scenes. Advisors/Committee Members: Hoiem, Derek W (advisor).

Esta dissertação investiga soluções para o problema genérico de geração de vistas sintéticas a partir de um conjunto de imagens utilizando a abordagem Depth-Image-Based Rendering. Essa abordagem utiliza um formato compacto para a representação de imagens 3D, composto basicamente por duas imagens, uma colorida para a vista de referência e outra em tons de cinza com a correspondência de disparidade para cada pixel. Soluções para esse problema beneficiam aplicações como Free Viewpoint Television. O maior desafio é o preenchimento de regiões sem informação de projeção considerando o novo ponto de vista, genericamente denominados holes, além de outros artefatos como cracks e ghosts que ocorrem por oclusões e erros no mapa de disparidade. Nesta dissertação apresentamos técnicas para remoção e tratamento de cada uma das classes de potenciais artefatos. O conjunto de métodos propostos apresenta melhores resultados quando comparado com o atual estado da arte em geração de vistas sintéticas com o modelo DIBR para o conjunto de dados Middlebury, considerando-se as métricas SSIM e PSNR.

This dissertation investigates solutions to the general problem of generating synthetic views from a set of images using the Depth-Image-Based Rendering approach. This approach uses a compact format for the 3D image representation, composed basically of two images, one color image for the reference view and other grayscale image with the disparity information available for each pixel. Solutions to this problem benefit applications such as Free Viewpoint Television. The biggest challenge is filling in regions without projection information considering the new viewpoint, usually called holes, and other artifacts such as cracks and ghosts that occur due to occlusions and errors in the disparity map. In this dissertation we present techniques for removal and treatment of each of these classes of potential artifacts. The set of proposed methods shows improved results when compared to the current state of the art generation of synthetic views using the DIBR model applied to the Middlebury dataset, considering the SSIM and PSNR metrics.

▼ The natural next step in improving the realistic experience in multimedia services is interactive multiview video (IMV). IMV promises to enable the users to freely navigate through a scene by selecting their preferred viewpoints from any view position for which the corresponding view is generated. A smooth navigation could be achieved with camera views and views synthesized at the decoder. However, the large amount of data required for such navigation experience still represents a challenge for the current systems, which implies the need for new efficient coding strategies that permit to save on storage and transmission resources, while preserving interactivity in the navigation. In this thesis, we focus on the optimization of coding strategies for IMV systems. First, we address the issues related to the coding techniques for IMV in a multiview video plus depth (MVD) scenario, where texture and depth maps are available for view synthesis at the decoder. We propose a low complexity algorithm for the selection of the interview prediction structures (PSs) and associated texture and depth quantization parameters (QPs) for IMV under transmission and storage constraints. Simulation results show that our novel low complexity algorithm has near-optimal compression efficiency while preserving interactivity properties at the decoder. Then, considering the limited and heterogeneous capabilities of current networks and decoding devices, we propose a novel adaptive solution for IMV based on a layered multiview representation where camera views are organized into layered subsets to offer different levels of navigation quality depending on the different client constraints. We propose an optimal and a reduced computational complexity greedy algorithms that jointly select the different view subsets and their encoding rates. Simulation results show the good performance of our novel algorithms compared to a baseline algorithm, proving that an effective IMV adaptive solution should consider the scene content, the client capabilities and their preferences, in building adaptive systems for multiview navigation. Finally, we build on the solution proposed in our second problem and present a general solution to rate allocation problems in multiview video. In particular, we propose a new algorithm to find the optimal Lagrange multiplier in a Lagrangian-based rate allocation problem. We show the performance of our proposed algorithm in both multiview and monoview video scenarios and show that the proposed method is able to compete with complex state-of-the-art rate control techniques. In summary, this thesis addresses important issues for coding multiview video in the design of efficient IMV systems under resource constraints. Our algorithm to select the optimal PS and QPs in a MVD scenario can improve the quality of the rendered views and it can indeed provide new insights for a deeper understanding of specific IMV coding requirements. We show that our algorithm for a layered representation of multiview video provides an effective… Advisors/Committee Members: Frossard, Pascal, Bernardo Pereira, Fernando Manuel.

La localisation est un problème récurrent de la vision par ordinateur, avec des applications dans des domaines multiples tels que la robotique ou la réalité augmentée. Dans cette thèse on considère en particulier le problème d'initialisation de la pose, c'est-à-dire la localisation sans information a priori sur la position de la caméra. Nous nous intéressons à la localisation à partir d'une image monoculaire et d'un nuage de points reconstruit à partir d'une séquence d'images. Puisque nous n'avons pas d'a priori sur la position de la caméra, l'estimation de la pose s'appuie sur la recherche de correspondances entre des points de l'image et des points du modèle de la scène. Cette mise en correspondance est difficile en raison de sa combinatoire élevée. Elle peut être mise en défaut lorsque l'image dont on cherche la pose est très différente de celles ayant servi à la construction du modèle, en particulier en présence de forts changements de point de vue. Cette thèse développe une approche permettant la mise en correspondance image-modèle dans ces situations complexes. Elle consiste à synthétiser localement l'apparence de la scène à partir de points de vue virtuels puis à ajouter au modèle des descripteurs extraits des images synthétisées. Comme le modèle de scène est un nuage de points, la synthèse n'est pas faite par rendu 3D mais utilise des transformations 2D locales des observations connues de la scène. Les contributions suivantes sont apportées. Nous étudions différents modèles de transformation possibles et montrons que la synthèse par homographie est la plus adaptée pour ce type d'application. Nous définissons une méthode de positionnement des points de vue virtuels par rapport à une segmentation de la scène en patchs plans. Nous assurons l'efficacité de l'approche proposée en ne synthétisant que des vues utiles : elles sont éloignées de celles existantes et elles ne se recouvrent pas. Nous vérifions également que la scène est visible à partir des points des vue virtuels pour ne pas produire des vues aberrantes à cause d’occultations. Enfin, nous proposons une méthode de recherche de correspondances image-modèle qui est à la fois rapide et robuste. Cette méthode exploite la répartition non-uniforme des correspondances correctes dans le modèle, ce qui permet de guider leur recherche. Les résultats expérimentaux montrent que la méthode proposée permet de calculer des poses dans des configurations défavorables où les approches standard échouent. De façon générale la précision des poses obtenues augmente significativement lorsque la synthèse de vue est utilisée. Enfin nous montrons que, en facilitant la mise en correspondance image-modèle, cette méthode accélère le calcul de pose

Localisation is a central problem of computer vision which has numerous applications such as robotics or augmented reality. In this thesis we consider the problem of pose initialisation, which is pose computation without prior knowledge on the camera position. We are interested in pose computation from a single image and a point cloud…

▼ The objective of this research is to develop a new 3-D video coding system which can provide better coding efficiency with improved subjective quality as compared to existing 3-D video systems such as the depth image based rendering (DIBR) system. Clearly, one would be able to increase overall performance by focusing on better “generic” coding tools. Instead, here we focus on techniques that are specific of 3-D video. Specifically, we consider improved representations for depth information as well as information that can directly contribute to improved intermediate view interpolation. ❧ As a starting point, we analyze the distortions that occur in rendered views generated using the DIBR system, and classify them in order to evaluate their impact on subjective quality. As a result, we find that the rendered view distortion due to depth map coding has non-linear characteristics (i.e., increases in intensity errors in the interpolated view are not proportional to increases in depth map coding errors) and is highly localized (i.e., very large errors occur only in a small subset of pixels in a video frame), which can lead to significant degradation in perceptual quality. A flickering artifact is also observed due to temporal variation of depth map sequence. ❧ To solve these problems, we first propose new coding tools which can reduce the rendered view distortion by defining a new distortion metric to derive relationships between distortions in coded depth map and rendered view. In addition, a new skip mode selection method is proposed based on local video characteristics. Our experimental results show the efficiency of the proposed method with coding gains of up to 1.6 dB in interpolated frame quality as well as better subjective quality with reduced flickering artifacts. ❧ We also propose a new transform coding using graph based representation of a signal, which we name as graph based transform. Considering depth map consists of smooth regions with sharp edges along object boundaries, efficient transform coding can be performed by forming a graph in which the pixels are not connected across edges. Experimental results reveal that coding efficiency improvement of 0.4 dB can be achieved by applying the new transform in a hybrid manner with DCT to compress a depth map. ❧ Secondly, we propose a solution in which depth transition data is encoded and transmitted to the decoder. Depth transition data for a given pixel indicates the camera position for which this pixel’s depth will change. For example in a pixel corresponding to foreground in the left image, and background in the right image, this information helps us determine in which intermediate view (as we move left to right), this pixel will become a background pixel. The main reason to consider transmitting explicitly this information is that it can be used to improve view interpolation at many different intermediate camera positions. Simulation results show that the subjective quality can be significantly improved using our proposed depth transition data.

Dans le contexte de la navigation autonome en environnement urbain, une localisation précise du véhicule est importante pour une navigation sure et fiable. La faible précision des capteurs bas coût existants tels que le système GPS, nécessite l'utilisation d'autres capteurs eux aussi à faible coût. Les caméras mesurent une information photométrique riche et précise sur l'environnement, mais nécessitent l'utilisation d'algorithmes de traitement avancés pour obtenir une information sur la géométrie et sur la position de la caméra dans l'environnement. Cette problématique est connue sous le terme de Cartographie et Localisation Simultanées (SLAM visuel). En général, les techniques de SLAM sont incrémentales et dérivent sur de longues trajectoires. Pour simplifier l'étape de localisation, il est proposé de découpler la partie cartographie et la partie localisation en deux phases: la carte est construite hors-ligne lors d'une phase d'apprentissage, et la localisation est effectuée efficacement en ligne à partir de la carte 3D de l'environnement. Contrairement aux approches classiques, qui utilisent un modèle 3D global approximatif, une nouvelle représentation égo-centrée dense est proposée. Cette représentation est composée d'un graphe d'images sphériques augmentées par l'information dense de profondeur (RGB+D), et permet de cartographier de larges environnements. Lors de la localisation en ligne, ce type de modèle apporte toute l'information nécessaire pour une localisation précise dans le voisinage du graphe, et permet de recaler en temps-réel l'image perçue par une caméra embarquée sur un véhicule, avec les images du graphe, en utilisant une technique d'alignement d'images directe. La méthode de localisation proposée, est précise, robuste aux aberrations et prend en compte les changements d'illumination entre le modèle de la base de données et les images perçues par la caméra. Finalement, la précision et la robustesse de la localisation permettent à un véhicule autonome, équipé d'une caméra, de naviguer de façon sure en environnement urbain.

▼ Image interpolation is the process of generating a new image utilizing a set of available images. The available images may be taken with a camera at different times, or with multiple cameras and from different viewpoints. Usually, the interpolation problem in the first scenario is called Frame Rate-Up Conversion (FRUC), and the second one view synthesis. This thesis focuses on image interpolation and addresses both FRUC and view synthesis problems. We propose a novel FRUC method using optical flow motion estimation and a patch-based reconstruction scheme. FRUC interpolates new frames between original frames of a video to increase the number of frames, and increases motion continuity. In our approach first, forward and backward motion vectors are obtained using an optical flow algorithm, and reconstructed versions of the current and previous frames are generated by our patch-based reconstruction scheme. Using the original and reconstructed versions of the current and previous frames, two mismatch masks are obtained. Then two versions of the middle frame are generated using a patch-based scheme, with estimated motion vectors and the current and previous frames. Finally, a middle mask, which identifies the mismatch areas of the two middle frames is reconstructed. Using these three masks, the best candidates for interpolation are selected and fused to obtain the final middle frame. Due to the patch-based nature of our interpolation scheme most of the holes and cracks will be filled. Although there is always a probability of having holes, the size and number of such holes are much smaller than those that would be generated using pixel-based mapping. The rare holes are filled using existing hole-filling algorithms. With fewer and smaller holes, simpler hole-filling algorithms can be applied to the image and the overall complexity of the required post processing decreases. View synthesis is the process of generating a new (virtual) view using available ones. Depending on the amount of available geometric information, view synthesis techniques can be divided into three categories: Image Based Rendering (IBR), Depth Image Based Rendering (DIBR), and Model Based Rendering (MBR). We introduce an adaptive version, patch-based scheme for IBR. This patch-based scheme reduces the size and number of holes during reconstruction. The size of patch is determined in response to edge information for better reconstruction, especially near the boundaries. In the first stage of the algorithm, disparity is obtained using optical flow estimation. Then, a reconstructed version of the left and right views are generated using our adaptive patch-based algorithm. The mismatches between each view and its reconstructed version are obtained in the mismatch detection steps. This stage results in two masks as outputs, which help with the refinement of disparities and the selection of the best patches for final synthesis. Finally, the remaining holes are filled using our simple hole filling scheme and the refined disparities. The… Advisors/Committee Members: Shirani, Shahram, Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Depth-Image-Based Rendering (DIBR) est une technologie fondamentale dans plusieurs applications liées à la 3D, telles que la vidéo en mode point de vue libre (FVV), la réalité virtuelle (VR) et la réalité augmentée (AR). Cependant, l'évaluation de la qualité des vues synthétisées par DIBR a également posé de nouveaux problèmes, car ce processus induit de nouveaux types de distorsions, qui sont intrinsèquement différentes des distorsions provoquées par le codage vidéo. Ce travail est destiné à mieux évaluer la qualité des vues synthétisées par DIBR en multimédia immersif. Au chapitre 2, nous proposons deux métriques complètements sans référence (NR). Le principe de la première métrique NR NIQSV consiste à utiliser plusieurs opérations morphologiques d’ouverture et de fermeture pour détecter et mesurer les distorsions, telles que les régions floues et l’effritement. Dans la deuxième métrique NR NIQSV+, nous améliorons NIQSV en ajoutant un détecteur de “black hole” et une détection “stretching”.Au chapitre 3, nous proposons deux métriques de référence complète pour traiter les distorsions géométriques à l'aide d'un masque de désocclusion et d'une méthode de correspondance de blocs multi-résolution. Au chapitre 4, nous présentons une nouvelle base de données d'images synthétisée par DIBR avec ses scores subjectifs associés. Ce travail se concentre sur les distorsions uniquement induites par différentes méthodes de synthèse de DIBR qui déterminent la qualité d’expérience (QoE) de ces applications liées à DIBR. En outre, nous effectuons également une analyse de référence des mesures d'évaluation de la qualité objective de pointe pour les vues synthétisées par DIBR sur cette base de données. Le chapitre 5 conclut les contributions de cette thèse et donne quelques orientations pour les travaux futurs.

Depth-Image-Based Rendering (DIBR) is a fundamental technology in several 3D-related applications, such as Free viewpoint video (FVV), Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). However, new challenges have also been brought in assessing the quality of DIBR-synthesized views since this process induces some new types of distortions, which are inherently different from the distortions caused by video coding. This work is dedicated to better evaluate the quality of DIBRsynthesized views in immersive multimedia. In chapter 2, we propose a completely No-reference (NR) metric. The principle of the first NR metrics NIQSV is to use a couple of opening and closing morphological operations to detect and measure the distortions, such as “blurry regions” and “crumbling”. In the second NR metric NIQSV+, we improve NIQSV by adding a “black hole” and a “stretching” detection. In chapter 3, we propose two Fullreference metrics to handle the geometric distortions by using a dis-occlusion mask and a multi-resolution block matching methods.In chapter 4, we present a new DIBR-synthesized image database with its associated subjective scores. This work focuses on the distortions only induced by different DIBR synthesis methods which…

▼ This dissertation deals with the image-based approach to synthesize a virtual scene using sparse images or a video sequence without the use of 3D models. In our scenario, a real dynamic or static scene is captured by a set of un-calibrated images from different viewpoints. After automatically recovering the geometric transformations between these images, a series of photo-realistic virtual views can be rendered and a virtual environment covered by these several static cameras can be synthesized. This image-based approach has applications in object recognition, object transfer, video synthesis and video compression. In this dissertation, I have contributed to several sub-problems related to image based view synthesis. Before image-based view synthesis can be performed, images need to be segmented into individual objects. Assuming that a scene can approximately be described by multiple planar regions, I have developed a robust and novel approach to automatically extract a set of affine or projective transformations induced by these regions, correctly detect the occlusion pixels over multiple consecutive frames, and accurately segment the scene into several motion layers. First, a number of seed regions using correspondences in two frames are determined, and the seed regions are expanded and outliers are rejected employing the graph cuts method integrated with level set representation. Next, these initial regions are merged into several initial layers according to the motion similarity. Third, the occlusion order constraints on multiple frames are explored, which guarantee that the occlusion area increases with the temporal order in a short period and effectively maintains segmentation consistency over multiple consecutive frames. Then the correct layer segmentation is obtained by using a graph cuts algorithm, and the occlusions between the overlapping layers are explicitly determined. Several experimental results are demonstrated to show that our approach is effective and robust. Recovering the geometrical transformations among images of a scene is a prerequisite step for image-based view synthesis. I have developed a wide baseline matching algorithm to identify the correspondences between two un-calibrated images, and to further determine the geometric relationship between images, such as epipolar geometry or projective transformation. In our approach, a set of salient features, edge-corners, are detected to provide robust and consistent matching primitives. Then, based on the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) of an affine matrix, we effectively quantize the search space into two independent subspaces for rotation angle and scaling factor, and then we use a two-stage affine matching algorithm to obtain robust matches between these two frames. The experimental results on a number of wide baseline images strongly demonstrate that our matching method outperforms the state-of-art algorithms even under the significant camera motion, illumination variation, occlusion, and self-similarity. Given the wide baseline matches… Advisors/Committee Members: Shah, Mubarak.

▼ This thesis addresses a number of problems in computer vision, image processing, and geometry processing, and presents novel solutions to these problems. The overarching theme of the techniques presented here is a multi-scale approach, leveraging mathematical tools to represent images and surfaces at different scales, and methods that can be adapted from one type of domain (eg., the plane) to another (eg., the sphere). The main problem addressed in this thesis is known as stereo reconstruction: reconstructing the geometry of a scene or object from two or more images of that scene. We develop novel algorithms to do this, which work for both planar and spherical images. By developing a novel way to formulate the notion of disparity for spherical images, we are able effectively adapt our algorithms from planar to spherical images. Our stereo reconstruction algorithm is based on a novel application of distance transforms to multi-scale matching. We use matching information aggregated over multiple scales, and enforce consistency between these scales using distance transforms. We then show how multiple spherical disparity maps can be efficiently and robustly fused using visibility and other geometric constraints. We then show how the reconstructed point clouds can be used to synthesize a realistic sequence of novel views, images from points of view not captured in the input images, in real-time. Along the way to this result, we address some related problems. For example, multi-scale features can be detected in spherical images by convolving those images with a filterbank, generating an overcomplete spherical wavelet representation of the image from which the multiscale features can be extracted. Convolution of spherical images is much more efficient in the spherical harmonic domain than in the spatial domain. Thus, we develop a GPU implementation for fast spherical harmonic transforms and frequency domain convolutions of spherical images. This tool can also be used to detect multi-scale features on geometric surfaces. When we have a point cloud of a surface of a particular class of object, whether generated by stereo reconstruction or by some other modality, we can use statistics and machine learning to more robustly estimate the surface. If we have at our disposal a database of surfaces of a particular type of object, such as the human face, we can compute statistics over this database to constrain the possible shape a new surface of this type can take. We show how a statistical spherical wavelet shape prior can be used to efficiently and robustly reconstruct a face shape from noisy point cloud data, including stereo data.

▼ New view synthesis (NVS) is the problem of generating a novel image of a scene, given a set of calibrated input images of the scene, i.e. their viewpoints, and also that of the output image, are known. The problem is generally ill-posed – a large number of scenes can generate a given set of images, therefore there may be many equally likely (given the input data) output views. Some of these views will look less natural to a human observer than others, so prior knowledge of natural scenes is required to ensure that the result is visually plausible. The aim of this thesis is to compare and improve upon the various Markov random field} and conditional random field prior models, and their associated maximum a posteriori optimization frameworks, that are currently the state of the art for NVS and stereo (itself a means to NVS). A hierarchical example-based image prior is introduced which, when combined with a multi-resolution framework, accelerates inference by an order of magnitude, whilst also improving the quality of rendering. A parametric image prior is tested using a number of novel discrete optimization algorithms. This general prior is found to be less well suited to the NVS problem than sequence-specific priors, generating two forms of undesirable artifact, which are discussed. A novel pairwise clique image prior is developed, allowing inference using powerful optimizers. The prior is shown to perform better than a range of other pairwise image priors, distinguishing as it does between natural and artificial texture discontinuities. A dense stereo algorithm with geometrical occlusion model is converted to the task of NVS. In doing so, a number of challenges are novelly addressed; in particular, the new pairwise image prior is employed to align depth discontinuities with genuine texture edges in the output image. The resulting joint prior over smoothness and texture is shown to produce cutting edge rendering performance. Finally, a powerful new inference framework for stereo that allows the tractable optimization of second order smoothness priors is introduced. The second order priors are shown to improve reconstruction over first order priors in a number of situations.

Les travaux effectués durant cette thèse de doctorat ont pour but d’augmenter l’efficacité de codage dans 3D-HEVC. Nous proposons des approches conventionnelles orientées vers la normalisation vidéo, ainsi que des approches en rupture basées sur le flot optique. En approches conventionnelles, nous proposons une méthode qui prédit les modes Intra de profondeur avec ceux de texture. L’héritage est conditionné par un critère qui mesure le degré de similitude entre les deux modes. Ensuite, nous proposons deux méthodes pour améliorer la prédiction inter-vue du mouvement dans 3D-HEVC. La première ajoute un vecteur de disparité comme candidat inter-vue dans la liste des candidats du Merge, et la seconde modifie le processus de dérivation de ce vecteur. Finalement, un outil de codage intercomposantes est proposé, où le lien entre les arbres quaternaires de texture et de profondeur est exploité pour réduire le temps d’encodage et le débit, à travers un codage conjoint des deux arbres. Dans la catégorie des approches en rupture, nous proposons deux méthodes basées sur l’estimation de champs denses de vecteurs de mouvement en utilisant le flot optique. La première calcule un champ au niveau d’une vue de base reconstruite, puis l’extrapole au niveau d’une vue dépendante, où il est hérité par les unités de prédiction en tant que candidat dense du Merge. La deuxième méthode améliore la synthèse de vues : quatre champs sont calculés au niveau de deux vues de référence en utilisant deux références temporelles. Ils sont ensuite extrapolés au niveau d’une vue synthétisée et corrigés en utilisant une contrainte épipolaire. Les quatre prédictions correspondantes sont ensuite combinées.

This PhD. thesis deals with improving the coding efficiency in 3D-HEVC. We propose both constrained approaches aimed towards standardization, and also more innovative approaches based on optical flow. In the constrained approaches category, we first propose a method that predicts the depth Intra modes using the ones of the texture. The inheritance is driven by a criterion measuring how much the two are expected to match. Second, we propose two simple ways to improve inter-view motion prediction in 3D-HEVC. The first adds an inter-view disparity vector candidate in the Merge list and the second modifies the derivation process of this disparity vector. Third, an inter-component tool is proposed where the link between the texture and depth quadtree structures is exploited to save both runtime and bits through a joint coding of the quadtrees. In the more innovative approaches category, we propose two methods that are based on a dense motion vector field estimation using optical flow. The first computes such a field on a reconstructed base view. It is then warped at the level of a dependent view where it is inserted as a dense candidate in the Merge list of prediction units in that view. The second method improves the view synthesis process: four fields are computed at the level of the left and right reference views using a past and a future temporal…

▼ The recognition of single objects is an old research field with many techniques and robust results. The probabilistic recognition of incomplete objects, however, remains an active field with challenging issues associated to shadows, illumination and other visual characteristics. With object incompleteness, we mean missing parts of a known object and not low-resolution images of that object. The employment of various single machine-learning methodologies for accurate classification of the incomplete objects did not provide a robust answer to the challenging problem. In this dissertation, we present a suite of high-level, model-based computer vision techniques encompassing both geometric and machine learning approaches to generate probabilistic matches of objects with varying degrees and forms of non-deformed incompleteness. The recognition of incomplete objects requires the formulation of a database of six sided views (e.g., model) of an object from which an identification can be made. The images are preprocessed (K-means segmentation, and region growing code to generate fully defined region and segment image information) from which local and global geometric and characteristic properties are generated in a process known as the Local-Global (L-G) Graph method. The characteristic properties are then stored into a database for processing against sample images featuring various types of missing features. The sample images are then characterized in the same manner. After this, a suite of methodologies is employed to match a sample against an exemplar image in a multithreaded manner. The approaches, which work with the multi-view model database characteristics in a parallel (e.g, multithreaded manner) determine probabilistically by application of weighted outcomes the application of various matching routines. These routines include treating segment border regions as chain codes which are then processed using various string matching algorithms, the matching by center of moments from global graph construction, the matching of chain code starting segment location, the differences in angles in the center of moments between the model and sample images to find the most similar graphs (e.g., image), and the use of Delaunay triangulations of the center of moments formed during global graph construction. The ability to find a most probable match is extensible in the future to adding additional detection methods with the appropriate weight adjustments. To enhance the detection of incomplete objects, separate investigations have been made into rotating the exemplars in standard increments and by object extraction of segment border regions’ chain codes and subsequent synthesis of objects from the multi-view database. This approach is novel and potentially extensible to compositing across multi-view segmented regions at the borders between views by either human aided input of border relations or a systematic, automated evaluation of common border objects between the views of an exemplar. The first results are promising and trigger… Advisors/Committee Members: Bourbakis, Nikolaos G. (Advisor).
