Generalized Image Acquisition and Analysis
Three-Dimensional Kaleidoscopic Imaging
Planar mirror systems are capable of generating many virtual views, yet their
practical use for multi-view imaging has been hindered by limiting configurations that enable
view decomposition. In this work we lift those restrictions.

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.
