3D Scene Understanding - It's Time to Address it Again
Abstract:
Abstract: Inspired by the ability of humans to interpret and understand 3D scenes nearly effortlessly,
the problem of 3D scene understanding has long been advocated as the 'holy grail' of computer vision.
In the early days this problem was addressed in a bottom-up fashion without enabling satisfactory
or reliable results for scenes of realistic complexity. In recent years there has been considerable
progress on many sub-problems of the overall 3D scene understanding problem. As the performance
for these sub-tasks starts to achieve remarkable performance levels we believe that the problem
to automatically infer and understand 3D scenes from should be addressed again.
In this talk we will - on the one hand - highlight progress on some essential components of
scene understanding such as object class recognition and detection or articulated pose estimation
and tracking. On the other hand we will also report on our current attempt towards 3D scene
understanding in the particular case of traffic scene analysis.
