Large-scale 3D point clouds (LS3DPCs) captured by terrestrial LiDAR scanners often exhibit reflection artifacts by glasses, which degrade the performance of related computer vision techniques. In this paper, we propose an efficient reflection removal algorithm for LS3DPCs. We first partition the unit sphere into local surface patches which are then... Read more

Person Search Person search has drawn considerable attention recently with the increasing demand for person re-identification from real world scene images. The conventional person re-identification takes a set of cropped person images and selects the images among them matching to a given query person. On the other hand, the person... Read more

A fast and optimized dehazing algorithm for hazy images and videos is proposed in this work. Based on the observation that a hazy image exhibits low contrast in general, we restore the hazy image by enhancing its contrast. However, the overcompensation of the degraded contrast may truncate pixel values and... Read more

The images taken through glass often capture a target transmitted scene as well as undesired reflected scenes. In this paper, we propose an optimization problem to remove reflection automatically from multiple glass images taken at slightly different camera locations. We first warp the multiple glass images to a reference image,... Read more

We propose a unified detection algorithm of view-independent and view-dependent saliency for 3D mesh models. While the conventional techniques use the irregular meshes, we adopt the semi-regular meshes to overcome the drawback of irregular connectivity for saliency computation. We employ the angular deviation of normal vectors between neighboring faces as... Read more

Conventional stitching techniques for images and videos are based on planar warping models, and therefore, they often fail to work on multi-view images and videos which exhibit large parallax and include diverse non-planar structures at different scene depths. In this paper, we propose a novel video stitching algorithm for such... Read more
