CMSC828Z: Description of Project 6 - Evolution of Time-varying Shape Probability Distributions using the Level Set Framework

This project examines the possibility to extend the level set framework as described in the following papers to the case of time-varying shapes. It should utilize the coherence of shape over time, otherwise we could simply use the existing algorithms and run them for every frame seperately. The interesting papers are:

• Olivier Faugeras and Renaud Keriven. Variational principles, surface evolution, pde's, level set methods and the stereo problem. Technical Report RR-3021, INRIA- Sophia Antipolis, October 1996.
• G. Cross and A. Zisserman. Surface reconstruction from multiple views using apparent contours and surface texture. In NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Confluence of Computer Vision and Computer Graphics, Ljubljana, Slovenia, page to appear, 2000.
• H. Jin, A. Yezzi, and S. Soatto. Variational multiframe stereo in the presence of specular reflections. In Proc. of the 3DPVT, page in press, June 2002.
