View-based imitation with rotation invariant pan-tilt stereo cameras
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the previous work, we have developed a method for visual imitation by recovering the demonstrator’s view based on the stereo epipolar constraint [1]. The method is applied to the stationary pair of the stereo cameras, therefore, the visual fields to observe the both motions of the demonstrator and the learner are limited. This paper presents a method to extend our previous work by adopting a pair of rotation invariant stereo cameras that has pan and tilt motions without changing the optical center, therefore, the stereo epipolar equation does not change. The spherical projection is used to represent the constraint. The experimental results are shown.

Monocular Stereo Measurement Using High-Speed Catadioptric Tracking
This paper presents a novel concept of real-time catadioptric stereo tracking using a single ultrafast mirror-drive pan-tilt active vision system that can simultaneously switch between hundreds of different views in a second. By accelerating video-shooting, computation, and actuation at the millisecond-granularity level for time-division multithreaded processing in ultrafast gaze control, the a...
متن کاملDistance Estimation Algorithm for Stereo Pair Images
Various algorithms have been proposed for estimating camera distance from objects in digital stereo pair videos and images. Existing algorithms assume that digital images were taken with pan and tilt cameras or assume that the angles between the cameras and the object are known. The algorithm that we are proposing has the ability to calculate distance from the camera plane to the object plane, ...

A real-time tracking system with the ability of tracking the moving target using cam-shift algorithm is designed. The basic technique of the stereo vision system is discussed. The architecture, the hardware component and the interface of the tracking system is analyzed. Two digital cameras are fit on the cradle head, and the electric pan/tilt/zoom controller has two independent degrees of freed...
متن کاملStereo Localization Using Dual PTZ Cameras
In this paper, we present a cooperative stereo system based on two pant-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras that can localize a moving target in a complex environment. Given an approximate target position that can be estimated by a fixed camera with a wide field of view, two PTZ cameras with a large baseline are pointed toward the target in order to estimate precisely its position. The overall method is di...
متن کاملAutonomous Underwater Vehicle: Vision System
This thesis examines the design and implementation of a vision system for an autonomous underwater vehicle. The vision system consists of three cameras, two being a stereo pair, and the third being attached to a pan/tilt unit to allow it to track moving targets. The goals for the development of the vision system were to: • Design and build all of the hardware for the vision system. The main foc...
