Scene layout from ground contact, occlusion, and motion parallax

چکیده
An important factor in determining perceived scene layout is optical contact between objects and the ground surface (‘‘ground contact’’). The relation between ground contact and occlusion was investigated in four experiments with stationary and motion parallax scenes containing a pole that occluded or was occluded by one or more cylinders. Some judgements were inconsistent with occlusion in stationary scenes, but judgements were consistent with occlusion in motion parallax scenes. When the range of object positions consistent with occlusion did not include the positions specified by ground contract or by motion parallax, the ground contact and motion parallax information still had a quantitative effect on the perceived position of the object within the range consistent with occlusion. These results demonstrate a cooperative interaction between ground contact, occlusion, and motion parallax in determining perceived layout in 3-D scenes.

Boundary segmentation from dynamic occlusion-based motion parallax.
Active observer movement results in retinal image motion that is highly dependent on the scene layout. This retinal motion, often called motion parallax, can yield significant information about the boundaries between objects and their relative depth differences. Previously we examined segmentation from shear-based motion parallax, which consists of only relative motion information. Here, we exa...
متن کاملLinear Auto-Calibration for Ground Plane Motion
Planar scenes would appear to be ideally suited for selfcalibration because, by eliminating the problems of occlusion and parallax, high accuracy two-view relationships can be calculated without restricting motion to pure rotation. Unfortunately, the only monocular solutions so far devised involve costly non-linear minimisations which must be initialised with educated guesses for the calibratio...
متن کاملVirtual Reality Motion Parallax with the Facebook Surround-360
Interest in acquiring and viewing natural scenes in full 360degree immersion has led to the development of camera rigs which capture images for 360-degree stereo rendering. Most such platforms capture a scene for viewing from a single vantagepoint and do not incorporate motion parallax. Methods for scene acquisition which do support motion parallax, such as concentric mosaics or free viewpoint ...
متن کاملPhotoPath: Single Image Path Depictions from Multiple Photographs
In this paper we present PhotoPath, an image synthesis technique that allows the visualization of paths through real world environments in a single intuitive picture. Given a series of input photographs taken with a hand-held camera along the path, our method generates an image that creates the impression of looking along the path all the way to the destination regardless of any curves or corne...
متن کامل11 The State of Flow
James Gibson discovered the optic flow field sometime during World War II, when he was working to devise pilot testing methods for the u.s. Army Air Forces (Gibson, 1947; Reed, 1988). Prior to this time, he had pursued comparatively conventional research in perception, memory, and learning, and was perhaps best known for his finding of a negative curvature aftereffect in prism adaptation. Faced...
