Augmented and Virtual Reality
Head-coupled Perspective
A fun project where we created a window to a virtual 3D world :-) The algorithm works by detecting the user’s face and estimating its 3D position with respect to a camera. With this information, the program is able to simulate a head-coupled perspective. This application is mainly based in this article, and our repository can be found here.
Video Analysis
Mean Shift Tracking with Corrected Background
Simple mean shift tracking implementation which uses background information, based on the paper Robust mean-shift tracking with corrected background-weighted histogram by Ning et al. It attempts to reduce the interference of background information in kernel-based tracking. Please refer to the repository for the C++ code.
Abandoned Object Detection
Classification of stationary objects into abandoned or stolen, based on the paper Robust unattended and stolen object detection by fusing simple algorithms by San Miguel and Martinez (reference).
Tomography and 3D Imaging
3D Image Reconstruction
Reconstruction of a mouse volume using filtered backprojection. The Matlab implementation can be found in the repository.
Vision for Multiple/Moving Cameras
3D Reconstruction
Reconstruction of a scene by extracting and matching interest points. The points were detected using the KAZE detector, and their features are provided by the DSP-SIFT descriptor. The reconstruction process consists of extracting the fundamental matrix, applying projective bundle adjustment and finally obtaining an Euclidean reconstruction.
Natural Scene Statistics of Fused Long Wave Infrared and Visible Light Images
This is an image processing piece about quality assessment, which can be found puclicly in IEEE Transactions on Image Processing: “Predicting the Quality of Fused Long Wave Infrared and Visible Light Images”, David-Moreno D.E., Benítez-Restrepo H.D., Bovik A.C. This work proposes fused image quality metrics and presents a subjective human study for their construction and validation. Please refer to the repository for more details about the implementation.
Complex Analysis
Tinkering with Julia and Mandelbrot sets
Visualisation of the filled-in Julia set and the Mandelbrot set. A simple implementation provided in C# can be found in here.
