The stereo correspondence of two retinal images is one of the most difficult problems in stereo vision because the reconstruction of 3-D scene is a typical visual ill-posed problem. So far there still have been many unsolved problems, one of which is to reconstruct 3-D scene for a monochromatic surface because there is no clue to make a correspondence between two retinal images. We consider this problem with two layered self-organization neural network to simulate the competitive and cooperative interaction of binocular neurons. A...

It is need to find a new feature for the more statable recognition system. Now, we need more features like a human eyes. Therefore, this paper proposed a new feature with the stereo camera. In this paper, the each different features from the left and right input image will be extracted by stereo vision system, and will be good for the 3-D recognition.

This paper describes a novel stereo vision based localization of free parking site, which recognizes the target position of automatic parking system. Pixel structure classification and feature based stereo matching extract the 3D information of parking site in real time. The pixel structure represents intensity configuration around a pixel and the feature based stereo matching uses step-by-step investigation strategy to reduce computational load. This paper considers only parking site divided by marking, which is generally drawn according to relevant standards. Parking site marking is separated by plane surface constraint and is transformed into bird's eye view, on which template matching is performed to determine the location of parking site. Obstacle depth map, which is generated from the disparity of adjacent vehicles, can be used as the guideline of template matching by limiting search range and orientation. Proposed method using both the obstacle depth map and the bird's eye view of parking site marking increases operation speed and robustness to visual noise by effectively limiting search range.

Tracking is one of the most important pre-required task for many application such as human-computer interaction through gesture and face recognition, motion analysis, visual servoing, augment reality, industrial assembly and robot obstacle avoidance. Recently, 3D information of object is required in realtime for many aforementioned applications. 3D tracking is difficult problem to solve because during the image formation process of the camera, explicit 3D information about objects in the scene is lost. Recently, many vision system use stereo camera especially for 3D tracking. The 3D feature based tracking(3DFBT) which is on of the 3D tracking system using stereo vision have many advantage compare to other tracking methods. If we assumed the correspondence problem which is one of the subproblem of 3DFBT is solved, the accuracy of tracking depends on the accuracy of camera calibration. However, The existing calibration method based on accurate camera model so that modelling error and weakness to lens distortion are embedded. Therefore, this thesis proposes 3D feature based tracking method using SVM which is used to solve reconstruction problem.

최근 고해상도 영상의 공급에 있어 물리적 센서 모델의 대안으로서 RPC(Rational Polynomial Camera) 모델이 활발히 이용되고 있다. RPC 모델을 통하여 지상 좌표와 영상 좌표간의 ,기하 관계를 단순하고도 정확하게 묘사할 수 있어 과거 물리적 센서 모델을 통하여만 이루어질 수 있었던 정사보정, 스테레오 영상을 이용한 3차원 좌표 추출 등의 처리가 가능하게 되었다 본 연구에서는 RPCs(Rational Polynomial Coefficients)가 주어진 스테레오 영상으로부터 3차원 좌표를 추출할 수 있는 매우 간단한 방법을 제안하고자 하였다. 제안된 방법은 Downhill Simplex 기법을 이용하는 방법으로서, Downhill Simplex 기법은 함수의 최소값을 찾는데 있어 편미분 계산을 수행하지 않는다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서 제안된 Downhill Simplex 기법을 이용한 RPC 스테레오 영상으로부터의 3차원 좌표 추출 기법은 실제 사용이 가능한 소프트웨어 프로그램으로서 구현되었으며, 서울 지역의 스테레오 IKONOS 영상에 시험 적용되었다. 시험 적용 결과, 본 방법은 비교적 빠르게 3차원 좌표를 계산할 수 있는 것으로 평가되며, RPCs가 주어진 스테레오 영상으로부터 3차원 좌표를 추출할 수 있는 실제적 기술로서 사용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

스테레오 영상으로부터 3차원 형상을 구현함에 있어 사용자의 개입을 최소로 필요로 하는 기법을 개발하였다. 형상구현은 특정 기하학 그룹을 평가하는 3단계로 이루어진다. 1단계는 영상에 존재하는 epipolar 기하 평가로 각 영상에서의 특정점들을 일치시킨다. 2단계는 소실점 방법을 이용하여 투영공간에서 특정평면을 찾는 affine 기하 평가이다. 3단계에서는 카메라의 자기보정을 포함하며 3차원 모델이 얻어질 수 있는 계량 기하 변수를 구한다. 이 방법의 장점은 형상구현을 위해 스테레오 영상을 보정할 필요가 없는 것으로, 그 구현가능성을 실증하였다.

In this paper, a new 3D robot vision system using the hierarchical opto-digital algorithm is proposed and implemented. From some experimental results with the 20 frames of the stereo input image pairs, the proposed system is found to be able to effectively extract the area where the target object is located from the stereo input image regardless of the background noises.

The ability to efficiently and robustly recover accurate 3D terrain models from sets of stereoscopic images is important to many civilian and military applications. A stereo matching has been an important tool for reconstructing three dimensional terrain. However, there exist many factors causing stereo matching error, such as occlusion, no feature or repetitive pattern in the correlation window, intensity variation, etc. Among them, occlusion can be only resolved by true multi-image stereo. In this paper, we present multi-image stereo method using DEM fusion as one of efficient and reliable true multi-image methods. Elevations generated by all pairs of images are combined by the fusion process which accepts an accurate elevation and rejects an outlier. We propose three fusion schemes: THD(Thresholding), BPS(Best Pair Selection) and MS(Median Selection). THD averages elevations after rejecting outliers by thresholding, while BPS selects the most reliable elevation. To determine the reliability of a elevation or detect the outlier, we employ the measure of self-consistency. The last scheme, MS, selects the median value of elevations. We test the effectiveness of the proposed methods with a quantitative analysis using simulated images. Experimental results indicate that all three fusion schemes showed much better improvement over the conventional binocular stereo in natural terrain of 29 Palms and urban site of Avenches.

In this paper, we propose a three dimensional distance measurement method for a stereo system by using web cams. Using a parallel stereo system, a robot gets two images from each webcam and equalize brightness of both images. And we suggest an image processing method such as labeling, isolating an object from background and finding center of an object. We also propose a method of calculating the focal distance by using least square algorithm based on triangulation and we can reduce calculation error by this method. From experimental results, we show that the proposed method can be effective for 3D distance measurement.

Using stereo images with ephemeris data from the Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-1 electro-optical camera (KOMPSAT-1 EOC), we performed geometric modeling for three-dimensional (3-D) positioning and evaluated its accuracy. In the geometric modeling procedures, we used ephemeris data included in the image header file to calculate the orbital parameters, sensor attitudes, and satellite position. An inconsistency between the time information of the ephemeris data and that of the center of the image frame was found, which caused a significant offset in satellite position. This time inconsistency was successfully adjusted. We modeled the actual satellite positions of the left and right images using only two ground control points and then achieved 3-D positioning using the KOMPSAT-1 EOC stereo images. The results show that the positioning accuracy was about 12-17 m root mean square error (RMSE) when 6.6 m resolution EOC stereo images were used along with the ephemeris data and only two ground control points (GCPs). If more accurate ephemeris data are provided in the near future, then a more accurate 3-D positioning will also be realized using only the EOC stereo images with ephemeris data and without the need for any GCPs.
