Refractive COLMAP: Refractive Structure-from-Motion Revisited

no code implementations13 Mar 2024 Mengkun She, Felix Seegräber, David Nakath, Kevin Köser

In this paper, we present a complete refractive Structure-from-Motion (RSfM) framework for underwater 3D reconstruction using refractive camera setups (for both, flat- and dome-port underwater housings).

Visual Tomography: Physically Faithful Volumetric Models of Partially Translucent Objects

no code implementations21 Dec 2023 David Nakath, Xiangyu Weng, Mengkun She, Kevin Köser

We additionally suggest a method to convert non-physical NeRF media into a physically-based volumetric grid for initialization and illustrate the usefulness of the approach using two real-world plankton validation sets, the lab-scanned models being finally also relighted and virtually submerged in a scenario with augmented medium and illumination conditions.

Design, Implementation and Evaluation of an External Pose-Tracking System for Underwater Cameras

no code implementations7 May 2023 Birger Winkel, David Nakath, Felix Woelk, Kevin Köser

In order to advance underwater computer vision and robotics from lab environments and clear water scenarios to the deep dark ocean or murky coastal waters, representative benchmarks and realistic datasets with ground truth information are required.

Refractive Geometry for Underwater Domes

no code implementations14 Aug 2021 Mengkun She, David Nakath, YiFan Song, Kevin Köser

Underwater cameras are typically placed behind glass windows to protect them from the water.

Light Pose Calibration for Camera-light Vision Systems

no code implementations27 Jun 2020 Yi-Fan Song, Furkan Elibol, Mengkun She, David Nakath, Kevin Köser

Illuminating a scene with artificial light is a prerequisite for seeing in dark environments.
