Ellipse Ellipsoid Correspondence

Ellipse-ellipsoid correspondence focuses on establishing robust and accurate mappings between 2D ellipses (image projections) and their corresponding 3D ellipsoids (objects in space), primarily for applications in computer vision and 3D reconstruction. Current research emphasizes developing efficient algorithms, such as those based on functional maps and minimal solvers, to handle challenges like non-isometric deformations, partial visibility, and noisy data, often incorporating neural networks for improved accuracy and robustness. This work is significant for advancing accurate 3D scene understanding from images and videos, with applications ranging from augmented reality and robotics to medical image analysis and sports broadcasting.
