Tire-soil Report

The modeling of tire-soil interaction attracts people from different engineering and basic science communities. In this project, we develop a system which can capture the tire-soil interaction using state of art computer vision techniques in real time. Rather than to build a numerical model which simulating the interaction between tires and deformable surfaces, we will build 3D textured model of the niche of tire-soil friction which will demonstrate the interaction between them. Both stereo and motion information will be utilized to generate the 3D model. Efforts will be made to enhance the accuracy of the surface texture and to accelerate the modeling process thus a sequence of 3-D model can be reconstructed and be displayed.
