Unique Geometry and Texture from Corresponding Image Patches
This work addresses shape from texture and texture-based structure from motion problems in computer vision.
The paper tackles the problem of recovering unique texture and viewpoints from unknown orthographic projections of a flat texture process, showing that four observations are generally sufficient and characterizing ambiguous cases.
We present a sufficient condition for recovering unique texture and viewpoints from unknown orthographic projections of a flat texture process. We show that four observations are sufficient in general, and we characterize the ambiguous cases. The results are applicable to shape from texture and texture-based structure from motion.
