Recent automotive vision work has focused almost exclusively on processing forward-facing cameras. However, future autonomous vehicles will not be viable without a more comprehensive surround sensing, akin to a human driver, as can be provided by 360...

Back to Butterworth - a Fourier Basis for 3D Surface Relief Hole Filling within RGB-D Imagery (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Atapour-Abarghouei, A., de La Garanderie, G. P., & Breckon, T. P. (2016). Back to Butterworth - a Fourier Basis for 3D Surface Relief Hole Filling within RGB-D Imagery. In Proc. Int. Conf. on Pattern Recognition (2813-2818). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICPR.2016.7900062

We address the problem of hole filling in RGB-D (color and depth) images, obtained from either active or stereo based sensing, for the purposes of object removal and missing depth estimation. This is performed independently on the low frequency depth... Read More about Back to Butterworth - a Fourier Basis for 3D Surface Relief Hole Filling within RGB-D Imagery.

Improved Depth Recovery In Consumer Depth Cameras via Disparity Space Fusion within Cross-spectral Stereo (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Payen de La Garanderie, G., & Breckon, T. (2014). Improved Depth Recovery In Consumer Depth Cameras via Disparity Space Fusion within Cross-spectral Stereo. In M. Valstar, A. French, & T. Pridmore (Eds.), Proceedings of the British Machine Vision Conference (417.1-417.12). https://doi.org/10.5244/C.28.110

We address the issue of improving depth coverage in consumer depth cameras based on the combined use of cross-spectral stereo and near infra-red structured light sensing. Specifically we show that fusion of disparity over these modalities, within the...
