Abstract. We have developped a physically-based model where an object is represented by a set of mass points on its contour. Each object may be defined locally and physically usin...
This paper presents a new method to extract the 3D shape of objects from 3D gray level images using a bicubic B-spline surface model. Extraction of object shape is achieved throug...
This paper presents a framework for directly addressing issues arising from self-occlusions and ambiguities due to the lack of depth information in vector-based representations. V...
We present a physically-based approach to grasping and manipulation of virtual objects that produces visually realistic results, addresses the problem of visual interpenetration o...
In this paper, we define an observation model based on optical flow information to track objects using particle filter algorithms. Although the optical flow information enables us...
