    摘要: A method compresses a set of correlated signals by first converting each signal to a sequence of integers, which are further organized as a set of bit-planes. An inverse accumulator is applied to each bit-plane to produce a bit-plane of shifted bits, which are permuted according to a predetermined permutation to produce bit-planes of permuted bits. Each bit-plane of permuted bits is partitioned into a set of blocks of bits. Syndrome bits are generated for each block of bits according to a rate-adaptive base code. Subsequently, the syndrome bits are decompressed in a decoder to recover the original correlated signals.

    摘要: A method and system extracts a matte from images acquired of a scene. A foreground image focused at a foreground in a scene, a background image focused at a background in the scene, and a pinhole image focused on the entire scene are acquired. These three images can be acquired sequentially by a single camera, or simultaneous by three cameras. In the later case, foreground, background and pinhole sequences of images can be acquired. The pinhole image is compared to the foreground image and the background image to extract a matte representing the scene. The comparison classifies pixels in the images as foreground, background, or unknown pixels. An optimizer minimizes an error function in the form of Fourier image equations using a gradient descent method. The error function expresses pixel intensity differences.

    摘要: A camera system acquires multiple optical characteristics at multiple resolutions of a scene. The camera system includes multiple optical elements arranged as a tree having a multiple of nodes connected by edges. the nodes represent optical elements sharing a single optical center, and the edges representing light paths between the nodes. The tree has the following structure: a single root node acquiring a plenoptic field originating from a scene; nodes with a single child node represent filters, lenses, apertures, and shutters; nodes with multiple child nodes represent beam splitters and leaf nodes represent imaging sensors. Furthermore, a length of the light paths from the roof node to each leaf nodes can be equal.

    摘要: A face is scanned to obtain a three-dimensional geometry of the face, images are also acquired of the face, and subsurface scattering of the face is measured. A translucency map is determined from the subsurface reflectance. A total surface reflectance and a normal map are estimated from the three-dimensional geometry and the images, and diffuse reflectance is estimated using the total reflectance. An albedo map is determined from the diffuse reflectance. The diffuse reflectance is subtracted from the total reflectance to obtain a surface reflectance. A set of bi-directional reflectance functions is fitted to the surface reflectance. Then, the set of bi-directional reflectance distribution functions, the albedo map, and the translucency map are combined to form a skin reflectance model of the face.

    摘要: A method and system estimates a reflectance function of an arbitrary scene. The scene is illuminated under various lighting condition. For each lighting condition there is an associated illumination image and an observed image. Multiple, non-overlapping kernels are determined for each pixel in a reflectance image from the pairs of illumination and observed images. A weight is then determined for each kernel to estimate the reflectance function represented as the reflectance image.

    摘要: A method constructs three-dimensional (3D) models of a scene from a set of two-dimensional (2D) input images. The 3D model can then be used to reconstruct the scene from arbitrary viewpoints. A user segments and labels a set of corresponding polygonal regions in each image using conventional photo-editing tools. The invention constructs the model so that the model has a maximum volume that is consistent with the set of labeled regions in the input images. The method according to the invention directly constructs the polygonal model.
