Panoramic Horizon Recognition
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a method in which SIFT features on and around the horizon are used for image classification (matching or recognition). Ordinarily, transformational geometry relating two images is recovered from a set of point correspondances – but correspondance formation may be improved and accelerated using geometric constraints. The proposed solution to this chicken/egg problem is to first search for an approximate geometric relationship between images using only the scale, orientation and position of SIFT features; if found, the recovered transformational geometry is used to filter feature matching. Generous feature position tolerance simplifies the search to 1 dimension in unwarped panoramic images.

Biologically Motivated Novel Localization Paradigm by High-Level Multiple Object Recognition in Panoramic Images
This paper presents the novel paradigm of a global localization method motivated by human visual systems (HVSs). HVSs actively use the information of the object recognition results for self-position localization and for viewing direction. The proposed localization paradigm consisted of three parts: panoramic image acquisition, multiple object recognition, and grid-based localization. Multiple o...
متن کاملComputer-Aided Panoramic Images Enriched by Shadow Construction on a Prism and Pyramid Polyhedral Surface
The aim of this study is to develop an efficient and practical method of a direct mapping of a panoramic projection on an unfolded prism and pyramid polyhedral projection surface with the aid of a computer. Due to the fact that straight lines very often appear in any architectural form we formulate algorithms which utilize data about lines and draw panoramas as plots of functions in Mathcad sof...
متن کاملFast Image Mosaicing for Panoramic Face Recognition
In this article, we present some development results of a system that performs mosaicing (or mosaicking) of panoramic faces. Our objective is to study the feasibility of panoramic face construction in real-time. To do so, we built a simple acquisition system composed of 5 standard cameras which, together, can take simultaneously 5 views of a face at different angles. Then, we chose an easily ha...
متن کاملPanoramic Lens Applications Revisited
During the last few years, innovative optical design strategies to generate and control image mapping have been successful in producing high-resolution digital imagers and projectors. This new generation of panoramic lenses includes catadioptric panoramic lenses, panoramic annular lenses, visible/IR fisheye lenses, anamorphic wide-angle attachments, and visible/IR panomorph lenses. Given that a...
متن کاملPanoramic Representation of Scenes for Route Understanding
Building I This work tackles route understanding in robot navigation. The strategies employed are route description from experience and route recognition by visual information. In description phase, a new representation of scenes along a route termed Panoramic Representation is proposed. It is obtained by scanning scenes sideways along the route, which provides rich information such as a 2D pro...
