Stereo Coupled Active Contours

چکیده
We consider how tracking in stereo may be enhanced by coupling pairs of active contours in different views via affine epipolar geometry and various subsets of planar affine transformations, as well as by implementing temporal constraints imposed by curve rigidity. 3D curve tracking is achieved using a submanifold model, where it is shown how the coupling mechanisms can be decomposed to cater for fixed and variable epipolar geometries. In the case of tracking planar curves, the canonical frame model is developed such that the various geometrical constraints needed in different situations may be efficiently selected. The results show that coupled active contours add consistency and robustness to tracking in stereo.

Detection of Occluding Contours and Occlusion by Active Binocular Stereo
|We propose a reliable method to detect occluding contours and occlusion by active binocular stereo with an occluding contour model that describes the correspondence between the contour of curved objects and its projected image. Applying the image ow generated by moving one camera to the model, we can restrict possible matched points seen by the other camera. We detect occluding contours by tti...
متن کامل3D Reconstruction Using Shape from Photometric Stereo and Contours
In this work, we further discuss an approach to 3D shape recovery by combining photometric stereo and shape from contours methods. Surfaces recovered by photometric stereo are aligned, adjusted and merged according to a preliminary 3D model obtained by shape from contours. Comparisons are conducted to evaluate the performances of different methods. It has been found that the proposed combinatio...
متن کاملThe Potential of Active Contour Models in Extracting Roads from Mobile Laser Scanning Data
Active contour models present a robust segmentation approach which make efficient use of specific information about objects in the input data rather than processing all the data. They have been widely used in many applications including image segmentation, object boundary localisation, motion tracking, shape modelling, stereo matching and object reconstruction. In this paper, we investigate the...
متن کاملSome Applications of Active Contours using ANN’s*Isomorphic to Boundaries
We present a few applications of the neural active contour model described in [I]. The model, which is a neural network based on the principles of self-organization, exploits the principles of spatial isomorphism and self-organization in order to create flexible contours for characterizing shapes in images. In this paper, we illustrate the versatility of the model by presenting its applications...
متن کاملOptimisation Approaches to Constraint Satisfaction Problems in Computer Vision
This paper describes several new image understanding methods based on parallel operation. There are several constraint satisfaction approaches using a energy minimization. We show how we reconstruct three dimensional surfaces from contours without elevation data and sparse points of known elevation data by using this approach. We also introduce Active Net using this approach and apply this mode...
