Nonrigid Motion: Main Goals
• Investigate, design and implement methods for Nonrigid motion analysis using intrinsic differential geometry measures.
• Develop algorithms for Nonrigid Motion Classification and segmentation.
• Develop metrics for evaluating the performance of motion models, and approaches to apply simple to complex hierarchy of motion models.
• Integrate developed algorithms into the structure and motion recovery process from 2D image sequences.
• Devise quantitative and qualitative evaluation measures of Nonrigid motion analysis for a variety of applications.

Stereo
• How do we see depth? - Stereo
Stereo
• Meeting point of 2 lines
Reconstruction recipe
• Find the two lines
– Start with searching for the same point in the
two images
– Define the rays in the same co-ordinate
system
• Figure out the pinhole positions
• Figure out where the pinholes are wrt each other
• Now see where the two lines meet – that’s
the 3D point
