چکیده

We compare Randomly Selected (RanSel) features with Harris Corners within a visual egomotion estimation framework. Harris corners have been extensivelly used in visual egomotion estimation systems due to a good tracking stability. However, to compute these features the whole image has to be processed. Instead, we propose the use of randomly selected points which are virtually costless to obtain. Despite tracking individual RanSel features is not as stable as Harris corners, we show that, when integrated in a time-filtering scheme, they provide similar results at a much faster rate. We have performed experiments using a synthetic setup with ground-truth and discuss the advantages of using RanSel features.

Real-Time Estimation of Fast Egomotion with Feature Classification Using Compound Omnidirectional Vision Sensor

For fast egomotion of a camera, computing feature correspondence and motion parameters by global search becomes highly timeconsuming. Therefore, the complexity of the estimation needs to be reduced for real-time applications. In this paper, we propose a compound omnidirectional vision sensor and an algorithm for estimating its fast egomotion. The proposed sensor has both multi-baselines and a l...

Pay Attention When Selecting Features

In this paper, we propose a new approach for landmark selection for simultaneous robot localization and mapping based on visual sensors (VSLAM): a biologically motivated attention system finds regions of interest with high information content, and at these regions, Harris corners are detected. This combines the advantages of the ROIs (reducing complexity, enabling good redetactability of region...

Efficient Video Panoramic Image Stitching Based on an Improved Selection of Harris Corners and a Multiple-Constraint Corner Matching

Video panoramic image stitching is extremely time-consuming among other challenges. We present a new algorithm: (i) Improved, self-adaptive selection of Harris corners. The successful stitching relies heavily on the accuracy of corner selection. We fragment each image into numerous regions and select corners within each region according to the normalized variance of region grayscales. Such a se...

Reduced egomotion estimation drift using omnidirectional views

Estimation of camera motion from a given image sequence is a common task for multi-view 3D computer vision applications. Salient features (lines, corners etc.) in the images are used to estimate the motion of the camera, also called egomotion. This estimation suffers from an error built-up as the length of the image sequence increases and this causes a drift in the estimated position. In this l...
