This repository stores the Borg Lab's work on Maximally Stable Extremal Regions extraction, association, and 3D projection. It is divided into two main folders.

This directory contains Matlab code that processes input videos, performs MSER region detection, and associates detected regions according to a nearest neighbor algorithm.

This directory contains C++ code that takes as input the associated regions from mser_2d and uses these associations to project 3D objects into a virtual scene.
