One of the major challenges in multi-view imaging is the definition of a representation that reveals the intrinsic geometry of the visual information. Sparse image representations with overcomplete geometric dictionaries offer a way to efficiently approximate these images, such that the multi-view geometric structure becomes explicit in the representation. However, the choice of a good dictionary...
The aim of this paper is to propose the technology to allow people to control robots by means of everyday gestures without using sensors or controllers. The hand pose estimation we propose reduces the number of image features per data set to 64, which makes the construction of a large-scale database possible. This has also made it possible to estimate the 3D hand poses of unspecified users with individual...
Correlation based stereo vision has proven its power in commercially available driver assistance systems. Recently, real-time dense stereo vision has become available on inexpensive FPGA hardware. In order to manage the huge amount of data, a medium-level representation named “Stixel World” has been proposed for further analysis. In this representation the free space in front of the vehicle is limited...
We present a robust camera pose estimation approach for stereo images captured in untextured environments. Unlike most of existing registration algorithms which are point-based and make use of intensities of pixels in the neighborhood, our approach imports line segments in registration process. With line segments as primitives, the proposed algorithm is capable to handle untextured images such as...
This paper proposes a scheme for a 3D metric reconstruction of the environment of a mobile robot. We first introduce the advantages of a catadioptric stereovision sensor for autonomous navigation and how we have designed it with respect to the Single Viewpoint constraint. For applications such as path generation, the robot needs a metric reconstruction of its environment, so calibration of the sensor...
In this paper we want to start the discussion on whether image based 3D modelling techniques can possibly be used to replace LIDAR systems for outdoor 3D data acquisition. Two main issues have to be addressed in this context: (i) camera calibration (internal and external) and (ii) dense multi-view stereo. To investigate both, we have acquired test data from outdoor scenes both with LIDAR and cameras...
