List of Packages for Computer Vision Developers (Ubuntu 14.04)

I am some-what intermediate developer mainly focusing on Computer Vision related development. I recently had to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) and turned out I rely on quite a lot of libraries and tools which are not available by default. Here is my list of packages : Feel free to mentions packages/libraries that you as … Continue reading List of Packages for Computer Vision Developers (Ubuntu 14.04)

Direct Edge Alignment (D-EA)

Abstract There has been a paradigm shifting trend towards feature-less methods due to their elegant formulation, accuracy and ever increasing computational power. In this work, we present a direct edge alignment approach for 6-DOF tracking. We argue that photo-consistency based methods are plagued by a much smaller convergence basin and are extremely sensitive to noise, changing illumination … Continue reading Direct Edge Alignment (D-EA)

Color Consistency from Multiple-View Images

Abstract In this paper we address the problem of multiview color consistency. We propose to use a graph model of 3d positions obtained using matched dense feature points. We define an energy functional on this model which captures relationship of the colors across views while also imposing a smoothness cost to obtain optimal colors for the 3d … Continue reading Color Consistency from Multiple-View Images

Details of Intra-Prediction in High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)

The new High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard has been recently developed by the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC) which was established by the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG). This new standard will replace the current H.264/AVC standard to deal with nowadays and future multimedia market trends. This post … Continue reading Details of Intra-Prediction in High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)

Detection of Mitosis in Multispectral Breast Cancer Imagery

Mitotic count is an important parameter for the prognosis of breast cancer. However, mitosis detection is a challenging problem and has not been addressed well in the literature. Indeed, mitosis detection is very challenging since mitosis appear in image as small objects with a large variety of shapes, and they can thus be confused with … Continue reading Detection of Mitosis in Multispectral Breast Cancer Imagery

Outlier Rejection with Tensor Voting

Project Summary Given a 3D point cloud the task is to filter out the noisy points. In the project we use the 'Tensor Voting Method' [1,2] for outlier detection. Acknowledgement This project is a part of the Computer Vision course (COMP 5421) during spring 2014. The project partners were Manohar Kuse (myself) and Sunil Jaiswal. The … Continue reading Outlier Rejection with Tensor Voting
