Abstract:
Advanced information technology deals with the computer technology appropriate to the capture, encoding, storage, communication, manipulation, and use of information in digital form. A special topic in this field is information capture; in particular, the capture of visual information. The acquisition of surface data for three-dimensional objects is a major problem in this field, approached by utilizing computer vision techniques. Surface data acquisition and related 3D object analysis is of importance in medicine and biology, in CAD modeling of industrial sites, for topographic models of the earth surface, for documenting museum objects, in architecture, in the movie industry, and in many other applications. This paper illustrates a few recently achieved practical results in computer vision (some obtained at CITR Tamaki) and briefly discusses directions in research.
