A Socratic Dialogue
Visual Space
This is an informal description of our research in the
form of a dialogue. It is divided into seven days and should be read in
a sequence, from day 1 to day 7. The dialogue is between A and B. A represents
our research group (Y. Aloimonos, C. Fermüller, and the graduate students
Brad Stuart, Robert Pless, Patrick Baker and Jan Neumann). The reading
of the dialogue takes about one hour. It contains several demonstrations
(26 Videos and 30 images) and provides a good idea of our activities. Our
work has been inspired by the works of many people: Koenderink and van
Doorn, Bajcsy, and Huang, to name a few.
