Many interesting applications in computer vision such as homography estimation, plane detection, 3D reconstructions and motion estimation demand the ability to fit geometric models onto noisy data. This is a non-trivial task in that the scene typically consists of multiple geometric structures. Moreover, the observed data is likely to be contaminated with noise from different sources including measurement sensor noise and outliers. Our group has developed several novel algorithms to solve the robust model-fitting problem and few examples are listed below:
