Abstract:
Robust statistical methods is vital when solving problems in computer vision. It is necessary to realize that the data from image or image sequence may be inaccurate when it comes to practice. Data will almost inevitably be polluted by outliner. Outliner is possible consequence of noise of the sensor, data errors, feature extraction failure, feature matching errors, segmentation errors and other factors. Moreover, the data may contain multiple structures. Thus, in the field of computer vision, many have acknowledged that it is a must to apply robust statistical method for all computer vision algorithms as for accurate estimation reason. But it is still an important yet challenging task to construct an accurate parameters structure that contains a large number of external outliner with multiple structures. This report introduces the work of the speakers in terms of robust statistics application, and some applications of computer vision: including motion estimation and motion segmentation, range image segmentation, fundamental matrix estimation, camera pose estimation, medical image processing, reconstruction, background / foreground appearance modeling, video tracking and video segmentation.
