Piecewise Planar Modeling for Step Detection using Stereo Vision
نویسندگان
چکیده
A mobility aid for the visually impaired should be able to detect and warn about nearby obstacles. Reliable detection of curbs and steps is critical to meet this goal. This paper describes a stereo-vision based algorithm that estimates the underlying planar geometry of the 3D scene to generate hypotheses for the presence of steps. Tensor voting is used to calculate globally consistent normals at each data point and a clustering algorithm is described to generate a piecewise planar model of the scene. Results demonstrate the improvement in plane clustering using tensor voting and the ability of the algorithm to find sufficient evidence for the presence of curbs and steps.

Enlarging Domain of Attraction for a Special Class of Continuous-time Quadratic Lyapunov Function Piecewise Affine Systems based on Discontinuous Piecewise
This paper presents a new approach to estimate and to enlarge the domain of attraction for a planar continuous-time piecewise affine system. Various continuous Lyapunov functions have been proposed to estimate and to enlarge the system’s domain of attraction. In the proposed method with a new vision and with the aids of a discontinuous piecewise quadratic Lyapunov function, the domain of attrac...
متن کاملBuilding facade detection, segmentation, and parameter estimation for mobile robot stereo vision
Building facade detection is an important problem in computer vision, with applications in mobile robotics and semantic scene understanding. In particular, mobile platform localization and guidance in urban environments can be enabled with accurate models of the various building facades in a scene. Toward that end, we present a system for detection, segmentation, and parameter estimation of bui...
متن کاملPlanar-Based Multispectral Stereo
This paper presents a framework for extracting dense disparity maps from a multispectral stereo head. It is based on the assumption of a piecewise planar scene modeling. This assumption implies that the surfaces of the given scene can be fitted through a set of predominant planes. The multispectral stereo head is constructed with a thermal infrared and a color camera. It is intended to explore ...
متن کاملCombining Monocular Geometric Cues with Traditional Stereo Cues for Consumer Camera Stereo
This paper presents a framework for considering both stereo cues and structural priors to obtain a geometrically representative depth map from a narrow baseline stereo pair. We use stereo pairs captured with a consumer stereo camera and observe that traditional depth estimation using stereo matching techniques encounters difficulties related to the narrow baseline relative to the depth of the s...
