چکیده

This paper presents camera calibration and tracking method for mixed reality based pre-visualization system for filmmaking. The proposed calibration method collects environmental information required for tracking efficiently since the rough camera path and target environment are known before actual shooting. Previous camera tracking methods using natural feature are suitable for outdoor environment. However, it takes large human cost to construct the database. Our proposed method reduces the cost of calibration process by using fiducial markers. Fiducial markers are used as reference points and feature landmark database is constructed automatically. In shooting phase, moreover, the speed and robustness of tracking are improved by using SIFT descriptor.

Moving Vehicle Tracking Using Disjoint View Multicameras

Multicamera vehicle tracking is a necessary part of any video-based intelligent transportation system for extracting different traffic parameters such as link travel times and origin/destination counts. In many applications, it is needed to locate traffic cameras disjoint from each other to cover a wide area. This paper presents a method for tracking moving vehicles in such camera networks. The...

Dual Space Control of a Deployable Cable Driven Robot: Wave Based Approach

Known for their lower costs and numerous applications, cable robots are an attractive research field in robotic community. However, considering the fact that they require an accurate installation procedure and calibration routine, they have not yet found their true place in real-world applications. This paper aims to propose a new controller strategy that requires no meticulous calibration and ...

Camera Calibration Using Compound Genetic-simplex Algorithm

The paper presents a novel camera calibration method using a two-step approach. First, a genetic algorithm is used to find a good enough approximation of the solution. Then a multidimensional unconstrained nonlinear minimization (Nelder-Mead simplex) algorithm is used to refine the solution. This approach avoids errors due to linearizations and automatically finds a very good initial point for ...

Design and Prototype Implementation of MR Pre-Visualization Workflow

This paper describes a pre-visualization system using mixed reality (MR) techniques for filmmaking. This system is a prototyping production of the “MR-PreViz Project,” was conducted performed in Japan. In the pre-production process of filmmaking, PreViz, previsualizing the desired scene by CGIs, is used as a new technique. As it is an advanced approach, we propose MR-PreViz that utilized mixed ...
