Epipolar Geometry from the Deformation of an Active Contour
نویسندگان
چکیده
An active contour is used to track a target in a sequence recorded by a walking robot in an unstructured scene . The deformations of the contour are analysed in order to extract the robot’s egomotion, from which we compute the epipolar geometry that guides the matching between different views of the scene. The results prove that the proposed solution is a promising alternative to the prevalent techniques based on the costly computation of displacement or velocity fields [12, 14].

متن کاملRecovering epipolar direction from two affine views of a planar object
The mainstream approach to estimate epipolar geometry from two views requires matching the projections of at least 4 non-coplanar points in the scene, assuming a full projective camera model. Our work deviates from this in three respects: affine camera, planar scene and active contour tracking instead of point matching. Using results in Projective Geometry, we prove that the affine epipolar dir...
متن کاملContour Matching Using Epipolar Geometry
Generally contour matching is diicult, and the problem becomes more diicult when the motion between successive image frames is large. When the image frames are obtained while the camera is in motion, we can use constraints about the scene and the camera. In this paper we propose a contour matching algorithm which guarantees an accurate matching result, even for large motion contours. The key id...
متن کاملMotion Estimation in Image Sequences Using the Deformation of Apparent Contours
The problem of determining the camera motion from apparent contours or silhouettes of curved three-dimensional surfaces is considered. In a sequence of images, it is shown how to use the generalised epipolar constraint on apparent contours. One such constraint is obtained for each epipolar tangency point in each image pair. Thus in theory the motion can be calculated from the deformation of a s...
متن کاملReconstruction from Uncalibrated Affine Silhouettes
In this paper we address the problem of model building in environments we do not control. An example problem is the reconstruction of aircraft geometry from images obtained from the ground. We show that using six or more unconstrained scaled orthographic silhouette views it is possible to recover the geometry of the aircraft and the motion between the camera views using only the two outer epipo...
