Recovering free space of indoor scenes from a single image

In this paper we consider the problem of recovering the free space of an indoor scene from its single image. We show that exploiting the box like geometric structure of furniture and constraints provided by the scene, allows us to recover the extent of major furniture objects in 3D. Our “boxy” detector localizes box shaped objects oriented parallel to the scene across different scales and object types, and thus blocks out the occupied space in...
