Abstract:

Multiview studies in Computer Vision have concentrated on the constraints satisfied by individual primitives such as points and lines. Not much attention has been paid to the properties of a collection of primitives in multiple views, which could be studied in the spatial domain or in an appropriate transform domain. We derive an algebraic constraint for planar shape recognition across multiple views based on the rank of a matrix of Fourier domain descriptor coefficients of the shape in different views. We also show how correspondence between points on the boundary can be computed for matching shapes using the phase of a measure for recognition.
