Light field appearance manifolds
Statistical shape and texture appearance models are powerful image representations, but previously had been restricted to 2D or 3D shapes with smooth surfaces and lambertian reflectance. In this thesis we present a novel 4D appearance model using image-based rendering techniques, which can …

Data-efficient Neural Appearance Manipulations
Appearance manipulation techniques are indispensable for a wide range of applications that seek to create immersive and interactive experiences, including filmmaking, aug- mented/virtual reality (AR/VR), product design, and advertising. These techniques involve adjustments to lighting, material …

Localisation under Large Appearance Change
… a robot can undertake will increase. However, appearance-based localisation systems in the past have required frequent traversals of the environment in order to sufficiently capture the change indicative of that environment. There are applications such as agriculture in which this frequent data …

Shape, Reflectance, and Illumination From Appearance
… and/or illumination passively from the object’s appearance. Such “inverse rendering” capabilities enable 3D understanding of our world (as desired in autonomous driving, robotics, etc.) and computer graphics applications such as relighting, view synthesis, and object capture (as desired in …

Acquisition and modeling of material appearance
… of surface geometry, lighting, and material appearance. While 3D geometry scanning and modeling have advanced significantly in recent years, measurement and modeling of accurate material appearance have remained critical challenges. Analytical models are the main tools to describe material …

Appearance Based Stage Recognition of Drosophila Embryos
… images. Automatic recognition based on the appearances of embryos is becoming a more desirable scheme. This problem, however, is very challenging due to severe variations of illumination and gene expressions. In this research thesis, we propose an appearance based recognition method using …

Object Tracking: Appearance Modeling And Feature Learning
… where the major challenges come from handling appearance variation during tracking caused by changing scale, pose, rotation, illumination and occlusion.</p> <p>In this dissertation, we address these challenges by introducing several novel tracking techniques. First, we developed a multiple …

Culture War Commonalities: Personal Appearance in Commonwealth England
… commentators increasingly perceived personal appearance as a source of moral failing throughout England. While the campaign of moral reformation at the time can most strongly be attributed to Puritan influences, on the interconnected questions of hair, dress, and cosmetics, political and …

Just not 'girly': Clothes, appearance and 'alternative' femininities.
… participants' narratives about their clothing, appearance, and body modifications. It examines how these are used to signal continuing resistance to certain traditional notions about femininity and how this resistance links to wider discourses about gender, categorising traditional and …

Organising a photograph collection based on human appearance
… in an unsupervised manner, based on the appearance of people captured in the photographs. Organising a collection of photographs manually, especially providing the identities of people captured in photographs, is a time consuming task. Unsupervised grouping of images containing similar …

Digital Humans: Improving Appearance Rendering, Advancing Motion Retargeting
… of two core aspects: motion modeling and appearance rendering. Motion modeling aims at understanding and replicating human kinematics. The standard representation of humans' skeleton consists of multiple joint-based rigid kinematic model. Such representation differs across the available …

Object Localization by Combining Shape and Appearance Features
… Both boundary-based shape and region-based appearance features are important to accurate object localization. For some objects, shape feature might be more important and for some objects, appearance feature might be more important. However, current state-of-the-art object localization …
