Detecting path intersections in panoramic video
نویسندگان
چکیده
Given panoramic video taken along a self-intersecting path, we present a method for detecting the intersection points. This allows “virtual tours” to be synthesized by splicing the panoramic video at the intersection points. Spatial intersections are detected by finding the bestmatching panoramic images from a number of nearby candidates. Each panoramic image is segmented into horizontal strips. Each strip is averaged in the vertical direction. The Fourier coefficients of the resulting 1-D data capture the rotation-invariant horizontal texture of each panoramic image. The distance between two panoramic images is calculated as the sum of the distances between their strip texture pairs at the same row positions. The intersection is chosen as the two candidate panoramic images that have the minimum distance.

The Feedback Based Mechanism for Video Streaming Over Multipath Ad Hoc Networks
Ad hoc networks are multi-hop wireless networks without a pre-installed infrastructure. Such networks are widely used in military applications and in emergency situations as they permit the establishment of a communication network at very short notice with a very low cost. Video is very sensitive for packet loss and wireless ad-hoc networks are error prone due to node mobility and weak links. H...
متن کاملVisual Path Following with a Catadioptric Panoramic Camera
In this paper we describe the use of a catadioptric panoramic system, built with a spherical mirror, for navigation tasks, namely visual path following. We define Visual Path Following as a method whereby once a robot has arrived at the start of a previously specified path, it can perform path following to a given location relying on visual tracking of features (landmarks) alone. The geometry o...
متن کاملScene Modeling for Wide Area Surveillance and Image Synthesis
We present a method for modeling a scene that is observed by a moving camera, where only a portion of the scene is visible at any time. This method uses mixture models to represent pixels in a panoramic view, and to construct a “background image” that contains only static (non-moving) parts of the scene. The method can be used to reliably detect moving objects in a video sequence, detect patter...
متن کاملDetecting Roads in Stabilized Video with the Spatio-Temporal Structure Tensor
Video provides strong cues for automatic road extraction that are not available in static aerial images. In video from a static camera, or stabilized (or geo-referenced) aerial video data, motion patterns within a scene enable function attribution of scene regions. A Broad,^ for example, may be defined as a path of consistent motionVa definition which is valid in a large and diverse set of envi...
متن کاملIncident Detection at Intersections Utilizing Hidden Markov Model
The number of deaths and injuries from traffic accidents has been rapidly increasing. Most of those accidents occur at and nearby intersections. It is very important to detect accidents automatically, and to rescue injuries quickly. This effort will be effective to decrease deaths and to ease traffic jams. In order to analyze those accident events, we set up a video camera and recorded those tr...
