Abstract

 

Successful vision algorithms must go beyond local analysis within the 2D image plane, into a global analysis of objects and surfaces within the context of the 3D scene.  But how can we do all of this if we only have only a single image?  I will describe our first steps, in which we provide a rough layout of the major surfaces and perspective of the scene.  Such information can then be used to improve object recognition, navigation, and other real–world tasks.
