چکیده

This thesis presents an implementation of a stereo vision system, using image processing techniques to determine depth information from pairs of stereo images. This system, which aims to aid vehicle reversal, involves working with stereo images of different vehicles, and the distance between the stereo cameras and the target vehicle is determined. For a pair of stereo images, the system algorithm extracts feature points from each image, and then a block matching technique is used to find the corresponding points between the two images and calculate the displacement. The experimental results are presented in this thesis as well. An introduction to stereo vision and some widely used image processing techniques is given. Additionally a discussion on the improvement and modification of the system is made. Conclusions are presented regarding the success of the proposed system algorithms and the possible future research work.

Non-destructive Method for Estimating Biomass of Plants Using Digital Camera Images

Abstract Plant growth and biomass assessments are required in production and research. Such assessments are followed by major decisions (e.g., harvest timing) that channel resources and influence outcomes. In research, resources required to assess crop status affect other aspects of experimentation and, therefore, discovery. Destructive harvests are important because they influence treatment s...

Fusion of Panchromatic and Multispectral Images Using Non Subsampled Contourlet Transform and FFT Based Spectral Histogram (RESEARCH NOTE)

Image fusion is a method for obtaining a highly informative image by merging the relative information of an object obtained from two or more image sources of the same scene. The satellite cameras give a single band panchromatic (PAN) image with high spatial information and multispectral (MS) image with more spectral information. The problem exists today is either PAN or MS image is available fr...
