Projective Rectification with Minimal Geometric Distortion

چکیده
There has been an increasing interest in the 3D imaging in the fields of entertainment, simulation, medicine, 3D visual communication, 3D tele-robotics, and 3D TV to augment the reality of presence or to provide vivid and accurate structure information. In order to provide vivid information in these and other 3D applications, efficient techniques to generate, store, and view the stereoscopic video are essential. While many methods are available for acquiring stereoscopic video, the images pairs obtained might not be in rectified form. Therefore, rectification is usually needed to support comfortable viewing and effective compression for storage and transmission. Projective geometry has been proved to be a useful tool for solving the rectification problem without camera calibration. However, if the matrices used for projective rectification (homographies) are not constrained properly, the rectification process can cause great geometric distortion. For visual applications, rectification with minimum geometry distortion should be pursued. In this chapter, we propose an improved algorithm to minimize the distortion by combining a newly developed projective transform with a properly chosen shearing transform. This new method is equipped with flexibility and can be adapted to various imaging models. Experimental data show that the proposed method works quite well for all the image pairs taken different imaging conditions. Comparison with other available method based on visual inspection and numerical data demonstrates the superiority of the new approach.

A Linear Trinocular Rectification Method for Accurate Stereoscopic Matching
In this paper we propose and study a simple trinocular rectification method in which stratification to projective and affine components gives the rectifying homographies in a closed form. The class of trinocular rectifications which has 6 DOF is parametrized by an independent set of parameters with a geometric meaning. This offers the possibility to minimize rectification distortion in a natura...
متن کاملProjective rectification from the fundamental matrix
This paper describes a direct, self-contained method for planar image rectification of stereo pairs. The method is based solely on an examination of the Fundamental matrix, where an improved method is given for the derivation of two projective transformations that horizontally align all the epipolar projections. A novel approach is proposed to uniquely optimise each transform in order to minimi...
متن کاملComputing Rectifying Homographies for Stereo Vision
Image rectification is the process of applying a pair of 2 dimensional projective transforms, or homographies, to a pair of images whose epipolar geometry is known so that epipolar lines in the original images map to horizontally aligned lines in the transformed images. We propose a novel technique for image rectification based on geometrically well defined criteria such that image distortion d...

Video sequences of road and traffic scenes are now used for various purposes. The framework of this research on the metric potential of single uncalibrated images is road mapping and studies of the traffic character of freeways. In the first case, an approach has been developed to extract lane width in straight road segments exploiting sequences from a forward looking camera. Apart from an init...

We propose a new method for rectifying a geometrical distortion in the elemental image set and extracting an accurate lens lattice lines by projective image transformation. The information of distortion in the acquired elemental image set is found by Hough transform algorithm. With this initial information of distortions, the acquired elemental image set is rectified automatically without the p...
