Stereo-Vision Based Control of a Car Using Fast Line-Segment Extraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes our work on applying stereo vision to the control of a car or car-like mobile robot, using cheap, low-quality cameras. Our approach is based on line segments, since those provide significant information about the environment, provide more depth information than point features, and are robust to image noise and colour variation. However, stereo matching with line segments is a difficult problem, due to poorly localized end points and perspective distortion. Our algorithm uses integral images and Haar features for line segment extraction. Dynamic programming is used in the line segment matching phase. The resulting line segments track accurately from one frame to the next, even in the presence of noise.

World feature detection and mapping using stereovision and inertial sensors
This paper explores the fusion of inertial information with vision for 3D reconstruction. A method is proposed for vertical line segment detection and subsequent local geometric map building. Visual and inertial sensing are two sensory modalities that can be explored to give robust solutions on image segmentation and recovery of 3D structure from images, increasing the capabilities of autonomou...
متن کاملPoint, Line Segment, and Region-Based Stereo Matching for Mobile Robotics
At the heart of every stereo vision algorithm is a solution to the matching problem the problem of finding points in the right and left image that correspond to a single point in the real world. Applying assumptions regarding the epipolar rectification and color similarity between two frames is often not possible for real-world image capture systems, like those used rescue robots. More flexible...
متن کاملA Maximum Likelihood Stereo Algorithm
A stereo algorithm is presented that optimizes a maximum likelihood cost function. The maximum likelihood cost function assumes that corresponding features in the left and right images are Normally distributed about a common true value and consists of a weighted squared error term if two features are matched or a ( xed) cost if a feature is determined to be occluded. The stereo algorithm nds th...

Reduction of search region in stereo correspondence can increase performances of the matching process, in the context of execution time and accuracy. For an edge-based stereo matching, we establish relationships between the search space and the parameters like relative displacement of edges, disparity under consideration, image resolution, CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) dimension and focal length ...
متن کاملFast Stereo-based Visual Odometry for Rover Navigation
The object of visual odometry is the computation of the path of a rover from onboard passive vision data only. The approach presented here relies on the accumulation of ego-motion estimates obtained by stereo vision and bundle adjustment of tracked feature points. We also propose a new feature detector/descriptor, which is a simplified and faster form of other well known descriptors (SURF). For...
