Robust Visual Correspondence: Theory and Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Visual correspondence represents one of the most important tasks in computer vision. Given two sets of pixels (i.e. two images), it aims at finding corresponding pixel pairs belonging to the two sets (homologous pixels). As a matter of fact, visual correspondence is commonly employed in fields such as stereo correspondence, change detection, image registration, motion estimation, pattern matching, image vector quantization. The visual correspondence task can be extremely challenging in presence of disturbance factors which typically affect images. A common source of disturbances can be related to photometric distortions between the images under comparison. These can be ascribed to the camera sensors employed in the image acquisition process (due to dynamic variations of camera parameters such as auto-exposure and auto-gain, or to the use of different cameras), or can be induced by external factors such as changes of the amount of light emitted by the sources or viewing of non-lambertian surfaces at different angles. All of these factors tend to produce brightness changes in corresponding pixels of the two images that can not be neglected in real applications implying visual correspondence between images acquired from different spatial points (e.g. stereo vision) and/or different time instants (e.g. pattern matching, change detection). In addition to photometric distortions, differences between corresponding pixels can also be due to the noise introduced by camera sensors. Finally, the acquisition of images from different spatial points or different time instants can also induce occlusions. Evaluation assessments have also been proposed which compared visual correspondence approaches for tasks such as stereo correspondence (Chambon & Crouzil, 2003), image registration (Zitova & Flusser, 2003) and image motion (Giachetti, 2000).

Definition of General Operator Space and The s-gap Metric for Measuring Robust Stability of Control Systems with Nonlinear Dynamics
In the recent decades, metrics have been introduced as mathematical tools to determine the robust stability of the closed loop control systems. However, the metrics drawback is their limited applications in the closed loop control systems with nonlinear dynamics. As a solution in the literature, applying the metric theories to the linearized models is suggested. In this paper, we show that usin...

Robust stabilization of a class of three-dimensional uncertain fractional-order non-autonomous systems
This paper concerns the problem of robust stabilization of uncertain fractional-order non-autonomous systems. In this regard, a single input active control approach is proposed for control and stabilization of three-dimensional uncertain fractional-order systems. The robust controller is designed on the basis of fractional Lyapunov stability theory. Furthermore, the effects of model uncertai...
