New for: D3
I will discuss a few methods that we have developed during my thesis to build a coherent spatio-temporal model from such reconstructions, from the bottoms-up. I will present three problems (a) temporally coherent segmentation of a sequence (b) feature detection and matching between meshes and (c) tracking the surface of an unknown and possibly varying topology. We make no assumptions about a template skeleton, mesh model or the topology of the shape being observed. Thus, the solutions we have developed are applicable to a dynamic scene in all its generality - composed of multiple actors, who are dressed in loose clothing, and who are interacting with each other in an arbitrary fashion.
