چکیده
A newly developed high-performance multiimager VGA camera array is described. Designed for synchronization, bandwidth, and economy within a videoconferencing application, and demonstrated initially through novel video mosaicking, the system shows promise for accelerating the new field of multi-viewpoint imaging. We describe the camera system’s design, control, performance characteristics, use in the mosaicking application, and its commercialization path for community use.

متن کاملVideo Mosaicking Using Ancillary Data to Facilitate Size Estimation
This thesis describes a mosaicking system designed to generate image mosaics that facilitate size estimation of 3-dimensional objects by improving data obtained with a multi-sensor video camera. The multi-sensor camera is equipped with a pulse laser-rangefinder and internally mounted inclinometers that measure instrument orientation about three axes. Using orientation data and video data, mosai...
متن کاملPositioning and Photo-Mosaicking with Long Image Sequences; Comparison of Selected Methods∗
Despite limited range, high resolution and data rate are among factors motivating the investigation of vision-based technologies in support of unmanned submersible platform operations. Among many, automatic vision-guided station keeping, localization and navigation, photo-mosaicking and 3-D mapping comprise application areas of special interest. The core issue in realizing these capabilities is...
متن کاملSeamline Determination Based on PKGC Segmentation for Remote Sensing Image Mosaicking
This paper presents a novel method of seamline determination for remote sensing image mosaicking. A two-level optimization strategy is applied to determine the seamline. Object-level optimization is executed firstly. Background regions (BRs) and obvious regions (ORs) are extracted based on the results of parametric kernel graph cuts (PKGC) segmentation. The global cost map which consists of col...
