Real-time Stereo Vision and Obstacle Location on single FPGA for Miniature Navigation
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we present a cooperative stereo vision algorithm with three cameras for dense disparity mapping and occlusion detection. Based on nonlinear iteration and multiple cameras, the disparity maps are smooth and the object boundaries are accurate. Occlusions for each stereo pair are detected effectively by examining the iterative inhibition and magnification of the matching evaluation. Index Terms – Stereo Vision, Cooperative Matching, Multiple Cameras, Occlusion Detection.

متن کاملFPGA-Based Feature Detection
Fast, accurate, autonomous robot navigation is essential for landing and roving on planets. For landing, particularly, computing speed matters. Navigation algorithms calculate feature descriptors in stereo pairs as the basis of visual odometry and obstacle avoidance. Feature detection is understood, but requires hundred-fold speed-up which is not achievable on conventional lander and rover comp...
متن کاملA Substitute Vision System for Providing 3D Perception and GPS Navigation via Electro-Tactile Stimulation
This paper describes a novel approach for enabling the blind to achieve obstacle avoidance and navigation in outdoor environments with the aid of visual sensors, GPS and electro-tactile stimulation. The electro-neural vision system (ENVS) works by extracting a depth map from stereo cameras by measuring the disparity between the stereo images. This range data is then delivered to the fingers via...
