The relevance of moving platforms for image acquisition - such as mobile phones or drones - is steadily increasing. The practical image resolution achieved by a moving camera is, however, typically worse than the theoretically possible resolution. Effects of motion blur, out of focus, noise, and improper camera parameters can distinctly reduce image sharpness and, thereby, the capability of representing fine structures. In this project, the practical resolution will be estimated by means of a Siemens star and related to camera movement.

Modern 3D reconstruction algorithms opened up a wide range of applications to capture real life geometry. Machine learning based methods are used to segment and understand these reconstructed 3D scenes. To train such methods, a vast amount of cleaned, annotated and curated data is needed, which is a tedious and time-consuming task. In this semester's project, students demonstrate methods to synthesize a large amount of 3D indoor scenes using freely available CAD models and extract suitable representations of point clouds, viewpoints and textual scene descriptions.
