Computer vision

Three of our permanent staff have previously been active in computer vision. This activity is gradually coming to an end: the last PhD student has defended his thesis in 2012 and no new projects are started. Since this topic is not central to STEEP, results are only summarized very briefly. The main scientific result has been the development of a novel approach for 3D modeling of semi-transparent objects, which couples both, geometric and photometric information [1] . This allows 3D modeling with fewer input images than previously and potentially, with a higher accuracy. Besides this, our main activity in computer vision has been related to industrial projects, the main goal being to finalize our work of the last years with an industrial transfer.
