Download or read book Point Line Segment and Region based Stereo Matching for Mobile Robotics written by Brian Paul McKinnon and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of every stereo vision algorithm is a solution to the matching problem - the problem of finding points in the right and left image that correspond to a single point in the real world. Applying assumptions regarding the epipolar rectification and color similarity between two frames is often not possible for real-world image capture systems, like those used in urban search and rescue robots. More flexible and robust feature descriptors are necessary to operate under harsh real world conditions. This thesis compares the accuracy of disparity images generated using local features including points, line segments, and regions, as well as a global framework implemented using loopy belief propagation. This thesis will introduce two new algorithms for stereo matching using line segments and regions, as well as several support structures that optimize the algorithms performance and accuracy. Since few complete frameworks exist for line segment and region features, new algorithms that were developed during the research for this thesis will be outlined and evaluated. The comparison includes quantitative evaluation using the Middlebury stereo image pairs and qualitative evaluation using images from a less structured environment. Since this evaluation is grounded in urban search and rescue robotics, processing time is a significant constraint which will be evaluated for each algorithm. This thesis will show that line segment-based stereo vision with a gradient descriptor achieves at least a 10% better accuracy than all other methods used in this evaluation while maintaining the low runtime associated with local feature based stereo vision.
Download or read book Segment Based Stereo Matching written by Gerard G. Medioni and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Images are two dimensional projections of three dimensional scenes, therefore depth recovery is a crucial problem in Image Understanding, with applications in passive navigation, cartography, surveillance, and industrial robotics. Stereo analysis provides a more direct quantitative depth evaluation than techniques such as shape from shading, and its being passive makes it more applicable than active range finding imagery by laser or radar. This paper addresses the subproblem of identifying corresponding points in the two images. The primitives the author uses are groups of collinear connected edge points called segments, and we base the correspondence on the minimum differential disparity criterion. The result of this processing is a sparse array disparity map of the analyzed scene.

Download or read book Computer Vision ECCV 2002 written by Anders Heyden and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-05-17 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Premiering in 1990 in Antibes, France, the European Conference on Computer Vision, ECCV, has been held biennially at venues all around Europe. These conferences have been very successful, making ECCV a major event to the computer vision community. ECCV 2002 was the seventh in the series. The privilege of organizing it was shared by three universities: The IT University of Copenhagen, the University of Copenhagen, and Lund University, with the conference venue in Copenhagen. These universities lie ̈ geographically close in the vivid Oresund region, which lies partly in Denmark and partly in Sweden, with the newly built bridge (opened summer 2000) crossing the sound that formerly divided the countries. We are very happy to report that this year’s conference attracted more papers than ever before, with around 600 submissions. Still, together with the conference board, we decided to keep the tradition of holding ECCV as a single track conference. Each paper was anonymously refereed by three different reviewers. For the ?nal selection, for the ?rst time for ECCV, a system with area chairs was used. These met with the program chairsinLundfortwodaysinFebruary2002toselectwhatbecame45oralpresentations and 181 posters.Also at this meeting the selection was made without knowledge of the authors’identity.

Download or read book High Quality Visual Experience written by Marta Mrak and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-08 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Last few years have seen rapid acceptance of high-definition television (HDTV) technology around the world. This technology has been hugely successful in delivering more realistic television experience at home and accurate imaging for professional applications. Adoption of high definition continues to grow as consumers demand enhanced features and greater quality of content. Following this trend, natural evolution of visualisation technologies will be in the direction of fully realistic visual experience and highly precise imaging. However, using the content of even higher resolution and quality is not straightforward as such videos require significantly higher access bandwidth and more processing power. Therefore, methods for radical reduction of video bandwidth are crucial for realisation of high visual quality. Moreover, it is desirable to look into other ways of accessing visual content, solution to which lies in innovative schemes for content delivery and consumption. This book presents selected chapters covering technologies that will enable greater flexibility in video content representation and allow users to access content from any device and to interact with it.
