3D Reconstruction under Light Ray Distortion from Parametric Focal Cameras

If the observed images are distorted by a refractive media, such as windshield of vehicles, the existing 3D reconstruction methods do not provide us accurate results.
In this research, we proposed a method for recovering accurate 3D shape of objects by estimating the refractive properties of the refractive media and the 3D shape of objects simultaneously.

Award winner's comments:

In our future research, we would like to derive methods for recovering accurate 3D structures under scattering medias such as fog.
