Chirality in Multiview Geometry
Pryhuber, AndrewThis thesis studies mathematical problems associated with reconstructing a three dimensional scene from images. Using the traditional pinhole camera model and tools from multiview geometry, we pose these problems from an ... -
Polynomials in Multiview Geometry
Aholt, Christopher (2013-04-17)We study multiview geometry and some of its applications through the use of polynomials. A three-dimensional world point gives rise to n ≥ 2 two-dimensional projections in n given cameras. The object of focus in this ... -
The Positive Semidefinite Rank of Matrices and Polytopes
Robinson, RichardThe positive semidefinite (psd) rank of a nonnegative <italic>p</italic> × <italic>q</italic> matrix <italic>M</italic> is defined to be the smallest integer <italic>k</italic> such that there exist <italic>k</italic> × ... -
Problems in Algebraic Vision
Lee, Hon LeungThis thesis studies several fundamental mathematical problems that arise from computer vision using techniques in algebraic geometry and optimization. Chapters 2 and 3 consider the fundamental question of the existence of ... -
Realization spaces of polytopes and matroids
Wiebe, AmyChapter 1 describes several models for the realization space of a polytope. These models include the classical model, a model representing realizations in the Grassmannian, a new model which represents realizations by slack ... -
The Polyhedral Geometry of Graphical Designs
Babecki, CatherineA graphical design is a quadrature rule for a graph. That is, a graphical design is a subset of graph vertices for which the global averages of certain Laplacian eigenvectors are equal to weighted averages of these vectors ...
