Thorough ZDF-Based Localization for Binocular Tracking

چکیده
W e present an eficient method to fixate a binocular gaze point on a target object moving around in a complicated environment. Assuming the target is in the riicinity of t1t.e gaze point, the image features of the target can be isolated by using zero disparity feature from others which suffer some disparities. This assumption is proper while successful binocular tracking, and the zero disparity filtering (ZDF) is computationally very cheap enough to realize quick visual feedback on an ordinal image processing hardware. The position estimation obtained from such isolated features, however, is restricted i n zero disparity fields, resulting in no depth cue. In order to get depth information simultaneously by ZDF processing, we introduce the novel localization technique based on the idea of "virtual horopter". The proposed method is implemented on our active vision system and the total performance of binocular tracking is demonstrated by actual tracking experiments.

Binocular tracking using log polar mapping
This paper describes a new binocular tracking method using Log Polar Mapping (LPM) which approximately represents the mapping of the retina into the visual cortex in primate vision. Using LPM makes it possible not only to obtain both a high central resolution and a wide eld of view, but also to signi cantly reduce processing image data. In this paper, LPM is performed in software by lookup tabl...
متن کاملAR Binocular: Augmented Reality System for nautical navigation
A realtime Augmented Reality binocular for the assistance of nautical staff is presented. AR systems combine the real environment with additional information. Nautical sea chart data is used to superimpose information into views with a magnification factor of 7 which cause a big effect on directional errors in the augmentation. We discuss the system requirements and present an analysis of the h...
متن کاملMonocular Vs Binocular 3D Real-time Ball Tracking from 2D Ellipses
Abstract: Real-Time tracking of elliptical objects, e.g. a ball, is a well studied field. However, the question between a monocular and binocular approach for 3D objects localization is still an open issue. In this work we implemented a real-time algorithm for 3D ball localization and tracking from 2D image ellipse fitting with calibrated cameras. We will exploit both approaches, together with ...
متن کاملMarkerless Inside-Out Tracking for Interventional Applications
Tracking of rotation and translation of medical instruments plays a substantial role in many modern interventions. Traditional external optical tracking systems are often subject to line-of-sight issues, in particular when the region of interest is difficult to access or the procedure allows only for limited rigid body markers. The introduction of inside-out tracking systems aims to overcome th...
متن کاملScene Classification from Dense Disparity Maps in Indoor Environments
We present our approach for scene classification in dense disparity maps from a binocular stereo system. The classification result is used for tracking and navigation purposes. The presented system is capable of foreground-background separation classifying room structures. The 3D model of the scene is derived directly from the disparity image. This approach is used for initial target selection ...
