In this paper we propose a new method for modeling indoor environment with stereo camera and suggest a localization method for mobile robot navigation on the basis of it. From the viewpoint of easiness in map building and exclusion of artificiality, the main idea of this paper is that environment is represented as global topological map and each node has omni-directional metric and color information by using stereo camera and pan/tilt mechanism. We use the depth and color information itself in image pixel as feature for environmental abstraction. In addition, we use only the depth and color information at horizontal centerline in image, where optical axis is passing. The usefulness of this m...

Computer vision system become more important as the researches on inspection systems, intelligent robots , diagnostic medical systems is performed actively. In this paper, 3D measuring system is developed by using stereo vision. The relation between left image and right image is obtained by using 8 point algorithm, and fundamental matrix, epipole and 3D reconstruction algorithm are used to measure 3D dimensions. 3D measuring system was developed by Visual Basic, in which 3D coordinates would be obtained by simple mouse clicks. This software would be applied to construction area, home interior system, rapid measuring system.

An algorithm of 3-D particle image velocimetry(3D-PIV) was developed for the measurement of 3-D velocity field of complex flows. The measurement system consists of two or three CCD camera and one RGB image grabber. In this study, stereo photogrammetty was applied for the 3-D matching of tracer particles. Epipolar line was used to decect the stereo pair. 3-D CFD data was used to estimate algorithm. 3-D position data of the first frame and the second frame was used to find velocity vector. Continuity equation was applied to extract error vector. The algorithm result involved error vecotor of about 0.13 %. In Pentium III 450MHz processor, the calculation time of cross-correlation for 1500 particles needed about 1 minute.

This paper describes a method of stereo image composition for mixed reality without camera calibration or complicate tracking algorithm. The proposed system tracks the panel which has blob makers, and composes virtual objects naturally using the method of texture mapping which is often used in geological computer graphics mapping when we do mapping 2D computer graphic data or man-made 2D images. The proposed algorithm makes it possible for us to compose virtual data even in the case that the panel is bent. For composing 3D object, the system uses depth information obtained from stereo image so that we do not need cumbersome procedure of camera calibration.

The range-based method is easy to get the 3D data in detail, but the image-based is not. In this paper, I suggests the new approach to get the 3D data in detail from the magnified stereo image. Main idea is using the magnifying lens. The magnifying lens not only magnifies the object but also increases the depth resolution. The relation between the amplification of the disparity and the increase of the depth resolution is verified mathematically and the method to improve the original 3D data is suggested.

Stereo image analysis has been an important tool for reconstructing 3D terrain. By In its nature, occlusion is one of difficulties Ive cannot avoid in stereo matching. This paper presents a study on occlusion detection by employing LRC(Left-Right Check) and OCC(Occlusion Constraint) and how we can improve the accuracy of DEM(Digital Elevation Model) y using interpolated data into the detected occluded area. Experimental results show that these method can effectively detect occluded regions and improve the accuarcy of DEM using the occlusion detection.

Obtained disparity map from the stereo camera by using the several stereo matching algorithms carries lots of noise because of various causes. In our approach, mode filtering and noise elimination technique using the histogram and projection-based region merging methods are adopted for improving the quality of disparity map and image segmentation. The proposed algorithms are implemented in VHDL and the real-time experimentation shows the accurately divided objects.

For robot navigation and visual reconstruction, structure from motion (SFM) is an active issue in computer vision community and its properties arc also becoming well understood. In this paper, when using stereo image sequence and direct method as a tool for SFM, we present a new method for overcoming bas-relief ambiguity. We first show that the direct methods, based on optical flow constraint equation, are also intrinsically exposed to such ambiguity although they introduce robust methods. Therefore, regarding the motion and depth estimation by the robust and direct method as approximated ones. we suggest a method that refines both stereo displacement and motion displacement with sub-pixel accuracy, which is the central process f3r improving its ambiguity. Experiments with real image sequences have been executed and we show that the proposed algorithm has improved the estimation accuracy.

This paper presents the method of 3D reconstruction of the depth information from the endoscopic stereo scopic images. After camera modeling to find camera parameters, we performed feature-point based stereo matching to find depth information. Acquired some depth information is finally 3D reconstructed using the NURBS(Non Uniform Rational B-Spline) method and OpenGL. The final result image is helpful for the understanding of depth information visually.
