Generalized Image Acquisition and Analysis
Performance Capture of High-Speed Motion Using Staggered Multi-View Recording
We present a markerless performance capture system that can acquire the motion and the texture of human actors
performing fast movements using only commodity hardware. To this end we introduce two novel concepts: First, a
staggered surround multi-view recording setup that enables us to perform model-based motion capture on motion-blurred
images, and second, a model-based deblurring algorithm which is able to handle disocclusion, self-occlusion and
complex object motions. We show that the model-based approach is not only a powerful strategy for tracking but also for
deblurring highly complex blur patterns.

Synchronization and Rolling Shutter Compensation for Consumer Video Camera Arrays
In: Proceedings of PROCAMS 2009 (2nd best paper).
Abstract
Two major obstacles to the use of consumer camcorders in computer vision applications are the lack of synchronization hardware, and the use of a "rolling" shutter, which introduces a temporal shear in the video volume. We present two simple approaches for solving both the rolling shutter shear and the synchronization problem at the same time. The first approach is based on strobe illumination, while the second employs a subframe warp along optical flow vectors. In our experiments we have used the proposed methods to effectively remove temporal shear, and synchronize up to 16 consumer-grade camcorders in multiple geometric configurations.
