	abstract = {In this paper, we propose an algorithm for robust 3D motion estimation of wide baseline cameras from noisy feature correspondences. The posterior probability density function of the camera motion parameters is represented by weighted samples. The algorithm employs a hierarchy coarse-to-fine strategy. First, a coarse prior distribution of camera motion parameters is estimated using the random sample consensus scheme (RANSAC). Based on this estimate, a refined posterior distribution of camera motion parameters can then be obtained through importance sampling. Experimental results using both synthetic and real image sequences indicate the efficacy of the proposed algorithm.},

	abstract = {Recovering the 3D coordinates of various joints of the human body from an image is a critical first step for several model-based human tracking and optical motion capture systems. Unlike previous approaches that have used a restrictive camera model or assumed a calibrated camera, our work deals with the general case of a perspective uncalibrated camera and is thus well suited for archived video. The input to the system is an image of the human body and correspondences of several body landmarks, while the output is the set of 3D coordinates of the landmarks in a body-centric coordinate system. Using ideas from 3D model based invariants, we set up a polynomial system of equations in the unknown head pitch, yaw and roll angles. If we are able to make the often-valid assumption that the torso twist is small, there are finite numbers of solutions to the head-orientation that can be computed readily. Once the head orientation is computed, the epipolar geometry of the camera is recovered, leading to solutions to the 3D joint positions. Results are presented on synthetic and real images.},

	abstract = {An accurate optical flow estimation algorithm is proposed in this paper. By combining the three-dimensional (3D) structure tensor with a parametric flow model, the optical flow estimation problem is converted to a generalized eigenvalue problem. The optical flow can be accurately estimated from the generalized eigenvectors. The confidence measure derived from the generalized eigenvalues is used to adaptively adjust the coherent motion region to further improve the accuracy. Experiments using both synthetic sequences with ground truth and real sequences illustrate our method. Comparisons with classical and recently published methods are also given to demonstrate the accuracy of our algorithm.},

	abstract = {We present a new robust line matching algorithm for solving the model-to-image registration problem. Given a model consisting of 3D lines and a cluttered perspective image of this model, the algorithm simultaneously estimates the pose of the model and the correspondences of model lines to image lines. The algorithm combines softassign for determining correspondences and POSIT for determining pose. Integrating these algorithms into a deterministic annealing procedure allows the correspondence and pose to evolve from initially uncertain values to a joint local optimum. This research extends to line features the SoftPOSIT algorithm proposed recently for point features. Lines detected in images are typically more stable than points and are less likely to be produced by clutter and noise, especially in man-made environments. Experiments on synthetic and real imagery with high levels of clutter, occlusion, and noise demonstrate the robustness of the algorithm.},

	abstract = {A generic approach to simultaneous tracking and verification in video data is presented. The approach is based on posterior density estimation using sequential Monte Carlo methods. Visual tracking, which is in essence a temporal correspondence problem, is solved through probability density propagation, with the density being defined over a proper state space characterizing the object configuration. Verification is realized through hypothesis testing using the estimated posterior density. In its most basic form, verification can be performed as follows. Given a measurement vector Z and two hypotheses H<sub>1</sub> and H0, we first estimate posterior probabilities P(H<sub>0</sub>|Z) and P(H<sub>1</sub>|Z), and then choose the one with the larger posterior probability as the true hypothesis. Several applications of the approach are illustrated by experiments devised to evaluate its performance. The idea is first tested on synthetic data, and then experiments with real video sequences are presented, illustrating vehicle tracking and verification, human (face) tracking and verification, facial feature tracking, and image sequence stabilization.},
