Abstract:
A method for constructing a super-resolution texture from a sequence of images of a non-rigid three-dimensional object, comprising:representing a shape of the object as a matrix of 3D points, and a basis of possible deformations of the object as a matrix of displacements of the 3D points, the matrices of 3D points and displacements forming a model of the object in the sequence of images; determining a set of correspondences between the points in the model and the object in the images; connecting the points in the model to form a mesh; warping, for each image, the mesh to a common coordinate system while super-sampling texture in each image covered by the mesh; and averaging the super-sampled textures covered by the warped meshes to produce the super-resolution texture of the object in the image.
