Constrained Camera Motion Estimation and 3D Reconstruction

and requires a high amount of skill and expertise. To reduce the amount of time and effort required to create
high-quality content, new flexible and reliable tools are needed.

Advances to the state of the art of computer vision are presented to further this agenda:

First, a generalized framework for constrained camera motion estimation is introduced, which allows
the simultaneous introduction of a variety of constraints on the camera configuration and the scene geometry.

Second, a new framework for symmetry-aware template fitting is presented, which allows the creation
of high-quality models from low-quality input 3D scans
