Shape Back-Projection In 3D Scenes
In this work, we propose a novel framework shape back-projection for computationally efficient point cloud processing in a probabilistic manner. The primary component of the technique is shape histogram and a back-projection procedure. The technique measures similarity between 3D surfaces, by analyzing their geometrical properties. It is analogous to color back-projection which measures similarity between images, simply by looking at their color distributions. In the overall process, first, shape histogram of a sample surface (e.g. planar) is computed, which captures the profile of surface normals around a point in form of a probability distribution. Later, the histogram is back-projected onto a test surface and a likelihood score is obtained. The score depicts that how likely a point in the test surface behaves similar to the sample surface, geometrically. Shape back-projection finds its application in binary surface classification, high curvature edge detection in unorganized point cloud, automated point cloud labeling for 3D-CNNs (convolutional neural network) etc. The algorithm can also be used for real-time robotic operations such as autonomous object picking in warehouse automation, ground plane extraction for autonomous vehicles and can be deployed easily on computationally limited platforms (UAVs).

Revolvable Indoor Panoramas Using a Rectified Azimuthal Projection
We present an algorithm for converting an indoor spherical panorama into a photograph with a simulated overhead view. The resulting image will have an extremely wide field of view covering up to 4{\pi} steradians of the …
Practical Wide-Angle Portraits Correction with Deep Structured Models
Wide-angle portraits often enjoy expanded views. However, they contain perspective distortions, especially noticeable when capturing group portrait photos, where the background is skewed and faces are stretched. This pap…
DiversityWhat Object Motion Reveals about Shape with Unknown BRDF and Lighting
We present a theory that addresses the problem of determining shape from the (small or differential) motion of an object with unknown isotropic reflectance, under arbitrary unknown distant illumination, for both orthogra…

We present a new data-driven approach with physics-based priors to scene-level normal estimation from a single polarization image. Existing shape from polarization (SfP) works mainly focus on estimating the normal of a s…
