European Workshop on
3D Structure from Multiple Images of Large-scale Environments
(SMILE)
jointly organized by the European Projects
VANGUARD, PANORAMA (ACTS) and CUMULI (ESPRIT)
in conjunction with the ECCV98 in Freiburg, Germany
6-7 June 1998
at the University of Freiburg, Germany.
The potential for 3D reconstructions of scenes and objects is
tremendous. As the focus of computer vision applications is shifting
>from automation toward (tele)communications, the requirements for
3D models and 3D acquisition systems are also shifting. Visualisation
rather than mensuration is the primary issue. The perceptual quality
of the models, the flexibility of the acquisition, and the cost of the
system are three driving forces in the search for new methods.
The last few years have seen important steps toward genuine flexibility.
A case in point is the use of uncalibrated multiple images to generate
3D models, without an explicit knowledge of the relative position of the
cameras or the camera settings.
A two day workshop on 3D Structure from Multiple Images (SMILE) will be
held on June 6-7 1998, just after the ECCV98. The workshop will focus on
the latest developments in this area. European projects CUMULI,
PANORAMA, and VANGUARD will demonstrate the feasibility of generating
highly realistic 3D models from natural, uncalibrated video sequences,
of using 3D models for telecommunications, and of integrating real and
virtual objects into a single environment.
The workshop will consist of single track highest quality
presentations including:
o Key Note presentation by Dr. Richard Hartley
o In-Depth Presentation of recent research results including
- multiple view image relations
- self-calibration techniques
- long sequence motion tracking
- 3D structure recovery and surface modeling
- augmented reality and mixing of real and virtual scenes
o Live demonstrations
