Abstract

A multitude of computer vision challenges can be cast as problems of

energy minimization. In my presentation I will introduce optimization
methods which allow to segment moving objects in image sequences, to
detect obstacles in traffic videos, to reconstruct 3D shapes from a
collection of 2D images and to track familiar shapes (for example
walking people) in videos. I will detail how respective cost
functionals can be minimized both by continuous (PDE and level set
methods) and by discrete (graph theoretic) methods.
