Book Reconstruction Techniques for Fixed 3 D Lines and Fixed 3 D Points Using the Relative Pose of One Or Two Cameras

Download or read book Reconstruction Techniques for Fixed 3 D Lines and Fixed 3 D Points Using the Relative Pose of One Or Two Cameras written by Roshan Satish Kalghatgi and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In general, stereovision can be defined as a two part problem. The first is the correspondence problem. This involves determining the image point in each image of a set of images that correspond to the same physical point P. We will call this set of image points, N. The second problem is the reconstruction problem. Once a set of image points, N, that correspond to point P has been determined, N is then used to extract three dimensional information about point P. This master's thesis presents three novel solutions to the reconstruction problem. Two of the techniques presented are for detecting the location of a 3-D point and one for detecting a line expressed in a three dimensional coordinate system. These techniques are tested and validated using a unique 3-D finger detection algorithm. The techniques presented are unique because of their simplicity and because they do not require the cameras to be placed in specific locations, orientations or have specific alignments. On the contrary, it will be shown that the techniques presented in this thesis allow the two cameras used to assume almost any relative pose provided that the object of interest is within their field of view. The relative pose of the cameras at a given instant in time, along with basic equations from the perspective image model are used to form a system of equations that when solved, reveal the 3-D coordinates of a particular fixed point of interest or the three dimensional equation of a fixed line of interest. Finally, it will be shown that a single moving camera can successfully perform the same line and point detection accomplished by two cameras by altering the pose of the camera. The results presented in this work are beneficial to any typical stereovision application because of the computational ease in comparison to other point and line reconstruction techniques. But more importantly, this work allows for a single moving camera to perceive three-dimensional position information, which effectively removes the two camera constraint for a stereo vision system. When used with other monocular cues such as texture or color, the work presented in this thesis could be as accurate as binocular stereo vision at interpreting three dimensional information. Thus, this work could potentially increase the three dimensional perception of a robot that normally uses one camera, such as an eye-in-hand robot or a snake like robot.

Book A Real time 3D Tracking System Using Multiple Cameras

Download or read book A Real time 3D Tracking System Using Multiple Cameras written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracking an object in three dimensional space is a major issue in computer vision which is normally solved through the extraction of representative features of the object, and two-dimension coordinates of the series of these image features are used to compute the position of the object. Typical system uses a binocular stereovision system. For environment with obstruction, only two cameras is not practical, multiple cameras are used instead. When multiple cameras are used, a certain similarity measure among extracted features from any two stereoscopic images helps to match the correspondences. In this way, three-dimensional measurement can be obtained from the 2-D coordinate of the features extracted from the different cameras. In this research, a multiple cameras system (four cameras) and PC-cluster (Two microcomputers) are used for estimating both position and velocity of a specified moving object. Noise filtering and features extraction of images are performed in the PC-cluster at video rate. Then, the extracted features from every camera will be used to locate the object. This is done in the main computer. The synchronization mechanism between computers has been developed using PCI-to-PCI data movers with fiber optic connection. The developed system can use both Tsai's method and Zhang's method for calibrating the system. For Zhang's method, we purpose a modified distortion model to reduce the computation time in 3-D reconstruction process. In our experiments, we setup the system to track 3-D paths which are generated by the PA10 robotic arm. The results show that the system can track both position and velocity of moving object in real-time with acceptable accuracy. Moreover, we show that the system can be adapted to be used for the reverse engineering application.

This book was released on 2011-09-09 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the grand challenges of artificial intelligence is to enable computers to interpret 3D scenes and objects from imagery. This book organizes and introduces major concepts in 3D scene and object representation and inference from still images, with a focus on recent efforts to fuse models of geometry and perspective with statistical machine learning. The book is organized into three sections: (1) Interpretation of Physical Space; (2) Recognition of 3D Objects; and (3) Integrated 3D Scene Interpretation. The first discusses representations of spatial layout and techniques to interpret physical scenes from images. The second section introduces representations for 3D object categories that account for the intrinsically 3D nature of objects and provide robustness to change in viewpoints. The third section discusses strategies to unite inference of scene geometry and object pose and identity into a coherent scene interpretation. Each section broadly surveys important ideas from cognitive science and artificial intelligence research, organizes and discusses key concepts and techniques from recent work in computer vision, and describes a few sample approaches in detail. Newcomers to computer vision will benefit from introductions to basic concepts, such as single-view geometry and image classification, while experts and novices alike may find inspiration from the book's organization and discussion of the most recent ideas in 3D scene understanding and 3D object recognition. Specific topics include: mathematics of perspective geometry; visual elements of the physical scene, structural 3D scene representations; techniques and features for image and region categorization; historical perspective, computational models, and datasets and machine learning techniques for 3D object recognition; inferences of geometrical attributes of objects, such as size and pose; and probabilistic and feature-passing approaches for contextual reasoning about 3D objects and scenes.
