A Fast Foveated Stereo Matcher
نویسندگان
چکیده
A stereo-matcher is required to form part of an active vision system currently under construction. Previous approaches to accomplishing the task of computing binocular disparity quickly have included the use of dedicated hardware and a tradeo of speed against pixel resolution. A software-based stereo-matcher is reported which produces results quickly whilst retaining sub-pixel accuracy. The process of foveation is applied to a scale-space matching algorithm to produce disparity maps of spatially non-linear resolution. Results are presented evaluating the accuracy of the algorithm and also runtime performance of a Java-based implementation executing on

Foveated Stereo Video Compression for Visual Telepresence
This thesis focuses on the design of a foveated stereo video compression algorithm for visual telepresence applications. In a typical telepresence application, a user at the local site views real-time stereo video recorded and transmitted from a robotic camera platform located at a remote site. The robotic camera platform tracks the user’s head motion producing the sensation of being present at...
متن کاملDirect Stereo Visual Odometry based on Lines
We propose a novel stereo visual odometry approach, which is especially suited for poorly textured environments. We introduce a novel, fast line segment detector and matcher, which detects vertical lines supported by an IMU. The patches around lines are then used to directly estimate the pose of consecutive cameras by minimizing the photometric error. Our algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art ...
متن کاملActive Stereo Vision System with Foveated Wide Angle Lenses
A novel active stereo vision system with a pair of foveated wide angle lenses is presented. The projection curve of the lens is designed so that it facilitates active vision algorithms for motion analysis, object identi cation, and precise xation. A pair of such lenses are mounted on a specially designed active stereo vision platform. It is compact and light so that it can be mounted on a mobil...
متن کاملFOVEA: a foveated vergent active stereo vision system for dynamic three-dimensional scene recovery
We introduce FOVEA: a foveated vergent active stereo vision system. FOVEA actively directs a pair of vergent stereo cameras to fixate on surfaces in a scene, performing multiresolution surface depth recovery at each fixation point, and accumulating and integrating a multiresolution map of surface depth over multiple successive fixations. Several features of the system are novel: an active fovea...
متن کاملAn Automated Approach to Stereo Matching Seasat Imagery
This paper describes a procedure developed at University College London for the automatic stereo matching of SAR imagery from NASA's Seasat satellite. The method employed uses Gruen's least squares correlation technique to improve the match accuracy of randomly generated points as they are cascaded down an image pyramid, coupled with a sheet growing mechanism in order to produce a dense array o...
