Abstract

This tutorial will present the state of the art in 3D reconstruction and camera pose recovery from multiple views of static and dynamical scenes. Applications of the techniques presented include autonomous navigation, building 3D models from video, tracking, visual surveillance, augmented reality and special effects for entertainment. The course is based on a recently published textbook co-authored by the organizers, and includes exercises, live demonstrations and sample code of the covered techniques.

Upon completing the course, participants should possess the tools necessary to reconstruct the 3D shape of objects or scenes from video of set of photographs, calibrate cameras and recover geometric properties of dynamic scenes including multiple moving objects.

Target Audience

Robotics researchers interested in using vision as a sensor for control tasks (navigation, manipulation, tracking, docking etc.) and 3-D model acquisition tasks. Robotics researchers interested in sensor networks and smart environments, medical, mobile and humanoid robotics, virtual and mixed reality.
