Accepted to RA-L: Refractive Light Field Features. We allow robotic vision to operate in previously prohibitive conditions by finding features in the patterns of light passing through transparent objects. This drop-in replacement for SIFT allows 3D reconstructions where SIFT / LiFF fail, and yields more accurate camera trajectory estimates and 3D reconstructions in complex refractive scenes. Preprint, code, and dataset are here.

Pleased to be continuing this decades-old collaboration in hardware implementation of vision algorithms with colleagues who now span the globe! This one adapts the classical concepts of wave-digital filters to the 4D domain to carry out real-time hardware-accelerated depth filtering in light fields. Paper at Multidimensional Systems and Signal Processing.

CVPR's just wrapped up. LiFF and associated dataset were very well received, and it was great to meet so many fellow light field and computational imaging researchers (with a computational imaging paper taking the best paper award this year!) Check out LiFF, a light field feature, here.
