Automated Ground-Plane Estimation for Trajectory Rectification
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a system to determine ground-plane parameters in densely crowded scenes where use of geometric features such as parallel lines or reliable estimates of agent dimensions are not possible. Using feature points tracked over short intervals, together with some plausible scene assumptions, we can estimate the parameters of the ground-plane to a sufficient degree of accuracy to correct usefully for perspective distortion. This paper describes feasibility studies conducted on controlled, simulated data, to establish how different levels and types of noise affect the accuracy of the estimation, and a verification of the approach on live data, showing the method can estimate ground-plane parameters thus allowing, improved accuracy of trajectory analysis.

Ground Plane Rectification by Tracking Moving Objects
Most outdoor visual surveillance scenes involve objects moving on a ground plane. We present a new, fully automated technique for both affine and metric rectification of this ground plane (up to a scale factor) by simply tracking moving objects. In particular, we derive the necessary constraints on the image plane to ground plane projective transformation by observing objects which move at cons...
متن کاملPlanar Motion Estimation Using an Uncalibrated General Camera
Generic camera odometry can be performed using two images of the same plane, such as the ground plane even in the case of non central cameras. It is possible to recover both the angle and rotation center describing a generic planar motion on the ground plane if the center is visible in both images. We present an algorithm to recover these two parameters from an initial set of correspondences an...
متن کاملView Independent Object Classification Based on Automated Ground Plane Rectification for Traffic Scene Surveillance
We address the problem of view independent object classification. Our aim is to classify moving objects of traffic scene surveillance videos into pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles. However, this problem is very challenging due to large object appearance variance, low resolution videos and limited object size. Especially, perspective distortion of surveillance cameras makes most 2D object featu...
متن کاملAn Omnidirectional Stereo System for Logistic Plants. Part 2: Stereo Reconstruction and Obstacle Detection Using Digital Elevation Maps
This work presents a fisheye lens based omnidirectional stereo sensor. The sensor is installed on the top of an automated forklift. In the first part of our work we have already presented the system overview, the fisheye lenses description and their calibration. The multi-channel rectification led to three pairs of perspective stereo images. By means of a standard reconstruction engine, three d...
متن کاملOn-Line Rectification of Sport Sequences with Moving Cameras
This article proposes a global approach to the rectification of sport sequences, to estimate the mapping from the video images to the terrain in the ground plane without using position sensors on the TV camera. Our strategy relies on three complementary techniques: (1) initial homography estimation using line-feature matching, (2) homography estimation with line-feature tracking, and (3) increm...
