3D Multi-view Imaging: Object Contour Approximation for Depth Image Coding and Multi-view Image/Video Streaming
DownloadFall 2017
Thanks to the rapidly dropping cost of digital cameras, multi-view imaging—using a series of cameras capturing images from the same 3D scene simultaneously but from different viewpoints—opens a wide variety of interesting research topics and applications. Among them, free viewpoint TV and light...

Modeling of human musculature is of interest to anatomists and biomechanists for its ability to predict human motion. In current models, muscles are portrayed as connecting lines starting at the origin and ending at the insertion, however this modeling often does not account for the wrapping that...
