A Real-Time Catadioptric Stereo System Using Planar Mirrors
نویسندگان
چکیده
By using mirror reflections of a scene, stereo images can be captured with a single camera. Single camera stereo provides both geometric and radiometric advantages over traditional two camera stereo. In this paper, we discuss these advantages and show that the epipolar geometry is restricted to the class of planar motions. In addition we have implemented a real-time system which demonstrates the viability of stereo with mirrors as an alternative to traditional two camera stereo.

Planar Catadioptric Stereo: Geometry and Calibration
By using mirror reflections of a scene, stereo images can be captured with a single camera (catadioptric stereo). Single camera stereo provides both geometric and radiometric advantages over traditional two camera stereo. In this paper; we discuss the geometry and calibration of catadioptric stereo with two planar mirrors and show how the relative orientation, the epipolar geometry and the esti...
متن کاملA Novel Omnidirectional Stereo Vision System with a Single Camera
The omnidirectional vision system has been given increasing attentions in recent years in many engineering research areas such as computer vision and mobile robot since it has wide field of view (FOV). A general method for 360o omnidirectional image acquisition is the catadioptric approach using a coaxially aligned convex mirror and a conventional camera. The catadioptric approach with the conv...
متن کاملRectified Catadioptric Stereo Sensors
It has been previously shown how mirrors can be used to capture stereo images with a single camera, an approach termed catadioptric stereo. In this paper, we present novel catadioptric sensors that use mirrors to produce rectified stereo images. The scanline correspondence of these images benefits real-time stereo by avoiding the computational cost and image degradation due to resampling when r...
متن کاملCatadioptric Stereo with Planar Mirrors: Multiple-View Geometry and Camera Localization
Planar catadioptric stereo (PCS) vision sensors consist of a pinhole camera and two or more planar mirrors. PCS systems have recently received an increasing attention in computer vision and have a promising applicability in robotics, since the use of mirrors allows to obtain a stereo view without the need of exact multi-camera synchronization and stereo calibration. The paper presents a rigorou...
متن کاملMonocular Stereo Measurement Using High-Speed Catadioptric Tracking
This paper presents a novel concept of real-time catadioptric stereo tracking using a single ultrafast mirror-drive pan-tilt active vision system that can simultaneously switch between hundreds of different views in a second. By accelerating video-shooting, computation, and actuation at the millisecond-granularity level for time-division multithreaded processing in ultrafast gaze control, the a...
