An active problem in digital geometry processing is shape interpolation which aims to generate a continuous sequence of in-betweens for a given source and target shape. Unlike traditional approaches that interpolate source and target shapes in isolation, recent data-driven approaches utilize multiple interpolations through intermediate database shapes, and consequently perform better at the expense of a database requirement. In contrast to the existing data-driven approaches that consider intermediate shapes as full inseparable entities, our novel data-driven method treats the shapes as separable rigid parts. In particular, we interpolate rigid parts over different intermediate shapes and merge them all in the end, which brings more flexibility and variety than the existing ways of interpolating the full shape as a whole over one fixed set of intermediates. To be able to proceed consistently over different sets of intermediate shapes, we construct a unified framework based on parametric curves. We demonstrate visually appealing and natural shape interpolation results in comparison with two other techniques. As a side contribution, we provide a public articulated hand dataset with fixed connectivity, which can be used in the evaluation of other shape interpolation methods. Our code and executables are also publicly available.

Part-based data-driven 3D shape interpolation Aydinlilar, Melike; Sahillioğlu, Yusuf (2021-07-01) An active problem in digital geometry processing is shape interpolation which aims to generate a continuous sequence of in-betweens for a given source and target shape. Unlike traditional approaches that interpolate source and target shapes in isolation, recent data-driven approaches utilize multiple interpolations through intermediate database shapes, and consequently perform better at the expense of a database requirement.

Object recognition and segmentation via shape models Altınoklu, Metin Burak; Ulusoy, İlkay; Tarı, Zehra Sibel; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) In this thesis, the problem of object detection, recognition and segmentation in computer vision is addressed with shape based methods. An efficient object detection method based on a sparse skeleton has been proposed. The proposed method is an improved chamfer template matching method for recognition of articulated objects. Using a probabilistic graphical model structure, shape variation is represented in a skeletal shape model, where nodes correspond to parts consisting of lines and edges correspond to pa...
Surface Reconstruction from Multiple Images Filtering Non Lambert Regions BÜYÜATALAY, Soner; BİRGÜL, ÖZLEM; Halıcı, Uğur (2009-09-10) In this study a new algorithm for 3D surface reconstruction from multiple images using a modified photometric stereo method is proposed and tested. The new algorithm, Filtered Lambert Photometric Stereo (FLPS), determines the non-Lambert pixels in the available images using a linearity test and constructs filtering masks for each image that corresponds to specular and self or cast shadow regions. Then, the photometric stereo is applied after eliminating the points in these masks. Tests carried out on synthe...
A comparative study on pose estimation algorithms using visual data Çetinkaya, Güven; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) Computation of the position and orientation of an object with respect to a camera from its images is called pose estimation problem. Pose estimation is one of the major problems in computer vision, robotics and photogrammetry. Object tracking, object recognition, self-localization of robots are typical examples for the use of pose estimation. Determining the pose of an object from its projections requires 3D model of an object in its own reference system, the camera parameters and 2D image of the object. Mo...
Multi-baseline stereo correction for silhouette-based 3D model reconstruction from multiple images Mulayim, AY; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan (2001-01-25) Silhouette based reconstruction algorithm is simple and robust for 3D volume estimation of an object. However? it has two main drawbacks: insufficient number of viewing positions and the inability to detect concavity regions. Starting from an initial convex hull of the object to be modeled which is generated by a silhouette based reconstruction, an algorithm based on photoconsistency is described. The algorithm basically carves the excess volume elements using the multi-baseline stereo information. Result o...
