Viewpoint-Invariant Representation of Generalized Cylinders Using the Symmetry Set

Nic Pillow, Sven Utcke, Andrew Zisserman
1994 Procedings of the British Machine Vision Conference 1994  
We demonstrate that viewpoint-invariant representations can be obtained from images for a useful class of 3D smooth object.  ...  Examples are given of the representations obtained from real perspective images, and their use in a model-based recognition system for canal surfaces.  ...  Financial support was provided by the EPSRC, ESPRIT Project 6448 'VIVA', and the University of Oxford.  ...

3D object recognition using invariance

Andrew Zisserman, David Forsyth, Joseph Mundy, Charlie Rothwell, Jane Liu, Nic Pillow
1995 Artificial Intelligence  
A significant part of the paper is a summary of recent results on the construction of invariants for 3D objects from a single perspective view.  ...  Invariance overcomes one of the fundamental difficulties in recognising objects from images: that the appearance of an object depends on viewpoint.  ...  Ellen Walker of RPI  ...

Geometric invariants and object recognition

Isaac Weiss
1993 International Journal of Computer Vision  
I In this paper we discuss the role of the general invariance concept in object recognition, and review the classical and recent literature on projective invariance.  ...  Deformations of objects are another important class of changes for which invariance is useful.  ...  A general projectivity involves combinations of perspectivities and affinities.  ...

Isoperimetric normalization of planar curves

D. Sinclair, A. Blake
1994 IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence  
Our invariant descriptor is the first example, to our knowledge, of practical discrimination, up to projectivity, of convex, closed curves.  ...  The transformation that takes the contour to its canonical form is a member of the projective group PGL(2), chosen because PGL(2) contains all possible transformations of a plane curve under central projection  ...  It operates by obtaining four invariant points on a plane contour which can be used directly to define a transformation to a canonical frame [IO] .  ...

On differential invariants of planar curves and recognizing partially occluded planar shapes

Alfred M. Bruckstein, Arun N. Netravali
1995 Annals of Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence  
The derivation of signature functions, generalizing the intrinsic curvature versus arc-length representation in the case of rigid motions in the plane, is based on differential invariants associated to  ...  Viewing transformations like similarity, affine and projective maps may distort planar shapes considerably.  ...  Acknowledgements We thank Nir Katzir, Isaac Weiss and Haim Wolfson for many useful discussions and references on this subject.  ...

Shape from periodic texture using the eigenvectors of local affine distortion

E. Ribeiro, E.R. Hancock
2001 IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence  
The key theoretical contribution is to show that the directions of the eigenvectors of the affine distortion matrices can be used to estimate local slant and tilt angles of tangent planes to curved surfaces  ...  The required affine distortion matrices are computed using the correspondences between spectral peaks, established on the basis of their energy ordering.  ...  The intuitive justification for this result is that under perspective projection the only direction which remains invariant at all locations on the image plane is the tilt direction.  ...

Shape from Texture: Homogeneity Revisited

A Criminisi, A Zisserman
2000 Procedings of the British Machine Vision Conference 2000  
But once the plane vanishing line has been obtained, then texels locations can be determined, and the geometry of the scene plane computed up to an affine transformation.  ...  The objective of this paper is to estimate the orientation of a scene plane from an uncalibrated perspective image under the assumption that the scene is coated with a homogeneous (but unknown) texture  ...  This work was supported by the EU Esprit Project IMPROOFS.  ...

Characteristic Number: Theory and Its Application to Shape Analysis

Xin Fan, Zhongxuan Luo, Jielin Zhang, Xinchen Zhou, Qi Jia, Daiyun Luo
2014 Axioms  
In this paper, we present a projective invariant named after the characteristic number of planar algebraic curves.  ...  Existing invariants in projective geometry are typically defined on the limited number (e.g., five for the classical cross-ratio) of collinear planar points and also lack the ability to characterize the  ...  Author Contributions XF invented the idea of the applications of CN. ZL invented the original idea of the theory of CN. JZ proved the affine invariance of the characteristic ratio.  ...

Invariants and fixed structures lead the way to change [chapter]

Luc Gool
1996 Lecture Notes in Computer Science  
The use of invariants quickly gained impetus in the computer vision community.  ...  Then, however, the paper moves on to corroborate the importance of certain geometrical entities, called "fixed structures".  ...  Depending on the degree to which the fixed structures have been identified, one would then have to use 3D projective, affine, or metric invariants for 3D shape recognition.  ...

What Makes Viewpoint Invariant Properties Perceptually Salient?: A Computational Perspective [chapter]

David Jacobs
2000 The Kluwer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science  
However, we show that viewpoint invariance is not sufficient to distinguish these Gestalt properties; one can define an infinite number of viewpoint invariant properties that are not perceptually salient  ...  We then show that generally, the perceptually salient viewpoint invariant properties are minimal, in the sense that they can be derived using less image information than non-salient properties.  ...  to the first four in a way that is invariant under perspective projection.  ...

1990 IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence  
Invariance to affine transforms allows considerable robustness when applied to images of objects which rotate in all three dimensions.  ...  In this work, the method of Fourier descriptors has been extended to produce a set of normalized coefficients which are invariant under any affine transformation (translation, rotation, scaling, and shearing  ...  The projection used was one which optimized the normalized between-cluster distance of the projected data. Specifically, one may define C.  ...
