Sensor for Distance Measurement Using Pixel Grey-Level Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
An alternative method for distance measurement is presented, based on a radiometric approach to the image formation process. The proposed methodology uses images from an infrared emitting diode (IRED) to estimate the distance between the camera and the IRED. Camera output grey-level intensities are a function of the accumulated image irradiance, which is also related by inverse distance square law to the distance between the camera and the IRED. Analyzing camera-IRED distance, magnitudes that affected image grey-level intensities, and therefore accumulated image irradiance, were integrated into a differential model which was calibrated and used for distance estimation over a 200 to 600 cm range. In a preliminary model, the camera and the emitter were aligned.

An Interactive Technique for Cartographic Feature Extraction from Aerial and Satellite Image Sensors
In this paper, an interactive technique for extracting cartographic features from aerial and spatial images is presented. The method is essentially an interactive method of image region segmentation based on pixel grey level and texture information. The underlying segmentation method is seeded region growing. The criterion for growing regions is based on both texture and grey level, where textu...

In this paper, the problem of how to estimate the distance between an infrared emitter diode (IRED) and a camera from pixel grey-level intensities is examined from a practical standpoint. Magnitudes that affect grey level intensity were defined and related to the zero frequency component from the FFT image. A general model was also described and tested for distance estimation over the range fro...

We designed and demonstrated the operation of a CMOS image sensor for modulated light detection and frequency and phase detection. These two quantities can be used to code the angular information in an active 3-D acquisition method based on structured light. Each pixel is equipped with a pulse-frequency modulator (PFM) [1] and two up/down counters in order to perform frequency and phase calcula...
