Efficient 3D shape matching and retrieval
This project attempts to develop efficient techniques for the representation and matching of 3D shapes.
-
Noise removal and image enhancement
The captured either 2D or 3D data are usually unavoidably corrupted by imaging noise.
-
Registration of 3D Point Clouds and Meshes: A Survey from Rigid to Non-Rigid
3D surface registration is fundamental to many compute graphics, vision and medical applications.
-
Relief Computation using Shape-from-Shading
This project explores how to create bas-reliefs from 2D face photographs.
-
Robust and Sensitive Methods for Non-rigid and Partial 3D Model Retrieval
3D models have a broad range of applications in many different areas such as engineering, biology, chemistry, medicine, entertainment and cultural heritage.
-
Saliency detection for 3D surface reconstruction, segmentation and simplification
While the laser scanning systems usually have limited field of view, the captured data from a single viewpoint can only cover a part of the area of interest.
