Trinocular Geometry Revisited

Event Location: NSH 1507Abstract: This is a joint work with J. Ponce. When do the visual rays associated with triplets of point correspondences converge, that is, intersect in a common point? Classical models of trinocular geometry based on the fundamental matrices and trifocal tensor associated with the corresponding cameras only provide partial answers to this [...]

Predicting Failures of Vision Systems

Event Location: NSH 1507Abstract: This is a joint work with P. Zhang, J. Wang, A Farhadi, and D. Parikh. Computer vision systems today fail frequently. They also fail abruptly without warning or explanation. Alleviating the former has been the primary focus of the community. In this work, we hope to draw the community’s attention to [...]
