Vision at MSR Cambridge

We are working principally in the following areas of computer vision:

(click below to access demos and further information)

...including:

i2i for three-dimensional visual communication;

MSRC Stereo SDK. A fully functional, free C# SDK for stereo vision.

Test stereo data. Stereo images and sequences for other researchers to experiment with.

...including:

AutoCollage for summarizing photo collections;

Image Cosegmentation for object-driven photo browsing;

GrabCut for easy object cut and paste;

Patchworks for object removal and image inpainting and restoration;

Blender for seamless object insertion;

...including:

Interactive segmentation and colorization of high-resolution, n-dimensional image data;

automatic detection and recognition of anomalies;

real-time volumetric visualization.

...including:

Epitomic Location Recognition. Live recognition of classes of locations.

Object Class Recognition at a Glance. Live recognition of objects thrown on a desk.

Interactive Object Class Recognition. Efficient and compact supervised object class modelling.

Locus. Unsupervised object recognition and segmentation.

...including:

C-Slate for efficient remote document editing and game playing;

Phantom Presence for natural turn-taking and richer communication;

Live Action for automatic recognition of hand gestures, objects and touch detection.

...including:

Single View Metrology and the history of art for application of vision tools to understanding works of art.

3D video editing for inserting objects in videos;

3D photography for automatic reconstruction from multiple photographs;

3D Mars for the creation of 3D animations from anaglyphs of the red planet.

...including:

Exemplar-based tracking. A prize-winning tracking technique.
