Title（演讲题目）:  3D Vision for Graphics

Abstract（演讲摘要）:

3D reconstruction is a fundamental problem in computer vision. This talk presents a structure-from-motion algorithm that solves the 3D reconstruction problem by a single linear equation, instead of following the conventional incremental reconstruction pipeline. Our global algorithm brings more accurate results and achieves significantly improved computational efficiency. We then address the motion ambiguity caused by repetitive image features by introducing an efficient graph-based optimization algorithm. This talk further introduces several applications of 3D vision, including image-based 3D modeling, robotics navigation, and image/video editing.
