Recovering Camera Motion in a Sequence of Underwater Images through Mosaicking
نویسندگان
چکیده
A procedure for automatic mosaic construction over long image sequences is presented. This mosaic is used by an underwater vehicle to estimate its motion with respect to the ocean floor. The system exploits texture cues to solve the correspondence problem. The dynamic selection of a reference image extracted from the mosaic improves motion estimation, bounding accumulated error. Experiments with real images are reported.

Positioning an Underwater Vehicle through Image Mosaicking
Mosaics have been commonly used as visual maps for undersea exploration and navigation. The position and .orientation of an underwater vehicle can be calculated by integrating the apparent motion of the images which form the mosaic. A feature-based mosaicking method is proposed in this paper. The creation of the mosaic is accomplished in four stages: feature selection and matching, detection of...
متن کاملA System to Evaluate the Accuracy of a Visual Mosaicking Methodology
When underwater vehicles navigate close to the ocean floor, computer vision techniques can be applied to obtain motion estimates. A complete system to create visual mosaics of the seabed is described in this paper. Unfortunately, the accuracy of the constructed mosaic is difficult to evaluate. The use of a laboratory setup to obtain an accurate error measurement is proposed. The system consists...

متن کاملImage Mosaicking for Estimating the Motion of an Underwater Vehicle
A composite image constructed by combining a set of smaller images is known as mosaic. Mosaics of the ocean floor are very useful in undersea exploration, creation of visual maps, navigation, etc. A feature-based mosaicking method is proposed, based on textural parameters of certain parts of the image. Textures significantly help in the identification of given features of the image. The trackin...
متن کاملA Multi-Camera Conical Imaging System for Robust 3D Motion Estimation, Positioning and Mapping from UAVs
Over the last decade, there has been an increasing interest in developing vision systems and technologies that support the operation of unmanned platforms for positioning, mapping, and navigation. Until very recently, these developments rely on images from standard CCD cameras with a single optical center and limited field of view, making them restrictive for some applications. Panoramic images...
