3D information extraction using Region-based Deformable Net for monocular robot navigation

This paper extends the Region-based Deformable Net (RbDN) technique described in [1] to extract the 3D information of all the objects in the scene from a single moving camera. The technique is used for segmenting real-time video sequences captured from a single moving camera. The deformation process tracks the changes in the location and the shape of the segments across the frames. These changes along with the camera displacement are used to estimate the 3D information. The algorithm is completely autonomous and does not require pre-knowledge, training, or assumption about the contents of the sequence. It can handle the difficult case where the motion of the camera is parallel to its optical axis. It can also estimate the distances to objects that are more than 100 m away as long as the camera displacement is over 10% of the expected distance to the objects.

Stereo Video Retargeting with Representative Seams in a Group of Stereoscopic Frames

The important requirements for stereo video retargeting are threefold: keeping temporal coherence, preventing depth distortion, and minimizing shape distortions of the retargeted video. To meet these requirements, the left and right video sequences are divided into groups of frames (GoFs), where the GoF is a basic unit for the seam carving and we assign a set of fixed seams for all frames within the GoF. To determine the fixed seams for each GoF, we need to find the GoF boundary in the video first. Then, the representative frame for each GoF is generated by considering the spatial saliency and temporal coherence. Also, the confidence of the stereoscopic correspondence between the left and right frames is considered to prevent depth distortion.

图像测速法的摄像机标定技术

针对漂浮在空气中或者液体中的粒子的速度测量,提出了一种基于双目视觉的测量方法。采用两个光轴相互垂直的CCD摄像机,分布在测量腔体的左右两侧。结合系统的几何结构特点,两个CCD摄像机分别标定,将标定模型方程转化为多项式形式,利用最小二乘原则获取平面模型标定参数,然后再利用公垂线距离最短原则实现三维坐标测量。实验给出了三维坐标的偏差分布图,证明这是一种实用有效快速的标定方法。     

基于立体视觉的人体头部目标识别研究

使用立体视觉系统可确定任意物体的三维轮廓及其表面任意点的位置信息和深度信息。本文将立体视觉运用于人体头部目标检测,设计了一种基于图像深度信息处理的人体头部识别系统。系统采用Xtion摄像机采集场景的深度图像,并对其进行特征分析,根据深度图像的特点以及头部的特征确定头部目标区域。再对目标区域采用Mean Shift算法进行聚类处理,得到清晰的图像边缘。最后通过基于动态阈值的一维熵函数分割法实现头部的分割识别。该系统可快速锁定目标区域,减少了算法的计算量,大大提高了系统的识别速度。此外,采集深度图像的xtion摄像机悬挂在目标场景的正上方,因而较好的解决了目前人体目标检测受遮挡的问题。经实验论证,该系统有较高的识别精度。     

Evaluation of stereo correspondence algorithms and their implementation on FPGA

The accuracy of stereo vision has been considerably improved in the last decade, but real-time stereo matching is still a challenge for embedded systems where the limited resources do not permit fast operation of sophisticated approaches. This work presents an evaluation of area-based algorithms used for calculating distance in stereoscopic vision systems, their hardware architectures for implementation on FPGA and the cost of their accuracies in terms of FPGA hardware resources. The results show the trade-off between the quality of such maps and the hardware resources which each solution demands, so they serve as a guide for implementing stereo correspondence algorithms in real-time processing systems.     

一种基于左右视线的立体图像匹配算法

提出了一种有效提高立体匹配中遮挡和低纹理区域匹配精度的方法,算法充分利用立体视觉中的全局约束条件,对不同区域采用不同的约束条件和强度来获得高可靠性点的视差,并且引入左右视线的概念,用于解决复杂场景情况下的左右视图的匹配问题。同时采用改进的协同算法(cooperative algorithm,CA),在视差梯度的约束下,对高可靠性点的视差进行逐步地扩散,最终得到致密的视差图。实验仿真表明,方法可以有效地提高遮挡和低纹理区域中的匹配精度,从而产生较精确的致密视差图。     

Reconfigurable hardware implementation of a phase-correlation stereoalgorithm

This paper describes the implementation of a stereo-vision system using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Reconfigurable hardware, including FPGAs, is an attractive platform for implementing vision algorithms due to its ability to exploit parallelism often found in these algorithms, and due to the speed with which applications can be developed as compared to hardware. The system outputs 8-bit, subpixel disparity estimates for 256× 360 pixel images at 30,fps. A local-weighted phase correlation algorithm for stereo disparity [Fleet, D. J.: {Int. Conf. Syst. Man Cybernetics 1:48–54 (1994)] is implemented. Despite the complexity of performing correlations on multiscale, multiorientation phase data, the system runs as much as 300 times faster in hardware than its software implementation. This paper describes the hardware platform used, the algorithm, and the issues encountered during its hardware implementation. Of particular interest is the implementation of multiscale, steerable filters, which are widely used in computer vision algorithms. Several trade-offs (reducing the number of filter orientations from three to two, using fixed-point computation, changing the location of one localized low-pass filter, and using L1 instead of L2 norms) were required to both fit the design into the available hardware and to achieve video-rate processing. Finally, results from the system are given both for synthetic data sets as well as several standard stereo-pair test images.
