For real-world applications, autonomous mobile robotic platforms must be capable of navigating safely in a multitude of different and dynamic environments with accurate and robust localization being a key prerequisite. To support further research in this ...

In this paper we present StyleBin—an approach to example-based stylization of videos that can produce consistent binocular depiction of stylized content on stereoscopic displays. Given the target sequence and a set of stylized keyframes accompanied by ...

Despite the remarkable progress of deep learning in stereo matching, there exists a gap in accuracy between real-time models and slower state-of-the-art models which are suitable for practical applications. This paper presents an iterative multi-scale ...

Local patch-based algorithms for image registration fail to accurately match points in areas not discriminative enough, mainly textureless regions. These methods normally involve a validation process and provide a non-completely dense solution. In this ...

The trade-off between speed and accuracy in precision tasks is important to evaluate during user interaction with input devices. When different sensory cues are added or altered in such interactions, those cues have an effect on this trade-off, and thus,...

360° music videos are becoming prevalent in music entertainment. Still, academic studies of the 360° live music experience covering both audio and visual experience are scarce. In this paper, we present a study of user experience of stereo and spatial ...

In stereoscopic displays, such as those used in VR/AR headsets, our eyes are presented with two different views. The disparity between the views is typically used to convey depth cues, but it could be also used to enhance image appearance. We devise a ...

In stereoscopic displays, such as those used in VR/AR headsets, our two eyes are presented with different views. The disparity between the views is typically used to convey depth cues, but it could be used for other purposes. We devise a novel technique ...

A mixed reality experience with a physical display, that situates 3D virtual content within the real world, has the potential to help people work and play with 3D information. However, almost all of such "fish tank virtual reality" (FTVR) systems have ...

Shallow depth-of-field is commonly used by photographers to isolate a subject from a distracting background. However, standard cell phone cameras cannot produce such images optically, as their short focal lengths and small apertures capture nearly all-in-...

We present a dataset collected from a canoe along the Sangamon River in Illinois. The canoe was equipped with a stereo camera, an inertial measurement unit IMU, and a global positioning system GPS device, which provide visual data suitable for stereo or ...

A number of consumer-grade spherical cameras have recently appeared, enabling affordable monoscopic VR content creation in the form of full 360° X 180° spherical panoramic photos and videos. While monoscopic content is certainly engaging, it fails to ...

Stereo and head tracking are considered as distance perception cues in virtual environments. Several studies have investigated their influence on several tasks. Results were different among studies. In this paper, we conducted a complete experiment ...

We present a challenging new dataset for autonomous driving: the Oxford RobotCar Dataset. Over the period of May 2014 to December 2015 we traversed a route through central Oxford twice a week on average using the Oxford RobotCar platform, an autonomous ...

We present a technique for colour matching between stereo pairs of images. We use a pre-computed disparity map to find corresponding areas and achieve high quality results for localised colour grading. We avoid direct pixel-to-pixel matches and instead ...

We present a method for extracting depth information from a rectified image pair. Our approach focuses on the first stage of many stereo algorithms: the matching cost computation. We approach the problem by learning a similarity measure on small image ...

This paper proposes a method for fusing data acquired by a ToF camera and a stereo pair based on a model for depth measurement by ToF cameras which accounts also for depth discontinuity artifacts due to the mixed pixel effect. Such model is exploited ...

Stereo-matching is an indispensable process of dense 3D information extraction for a wide range of applications. Relevant methods rely on cost functions and optimization algorithms for estimating accurate disparities. This work analyses a novel cost for ...

We propose that left- and right-half-occlusion regions contain information that can distinguish between stereoscopic and pseudoscopic display conditions. A machine vision method is presented based on this idea, which detects pseudo copy using only the ...

High-quality stereo and optical flow maps are essential for a multitude of tasks in visual media production, e.g. virtual camera navigation, disparity adaptation or scene editing. Rather than estimating stereo and optical flow separately, scene flow is ...
