چکیده

In this paper, an algorithm for rectifying heterogeneous and uncalibrated pairs of stereo images is presented. In particular, a pair of images is captured by using a combination of static and dynamic cameras at unequal zoom, thus having different focal lengths and/or image resolutions. The rectification of such pairs of images is made in two steps. In the first step, image shrinking based on focal ratios is performed for compensating the effect of unequal zoom levels followed by a zero padding on the smaller image for making the images of equal size. In the second step, rectification transformations are calculated by solving a nonlinear constrained optimization problem for a given set of pairs of corresponding points (SIFT descriptors) between stereo images. Experiments are performed to evaluate the performance of the proposed method and assess the improvements of the proposed method over direct rectification. 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Uncalibrated three-view image rectification

Image rectification is a process of transforming a set of images into a new set such that the epipolar lines in the transformed images have the same direction as the image rows or columns to enable an efficient and reliable stereo matching. Previous algorithms for stereo image rectification either work for two view uncalibrated or two/three view calibrated situations. In this paper we propose s...

Trinocular Rectification for Various Camera Setups

Convergent stereo images can be rectified such that they correspond to the stereo normal case. The important advantage is that the correspondence analysis is simplified to a linear search along one of the image axes. The proposed method describes a rectification method for three uncalibrated cameras, where the configuration is not generally known. The algorithm automatically determines the best...

Robust uncalibrated stereo rectification with constrained geometric distortions (USR-CGD)

A novel algorithm for uncalibrated stereo imagepair rectification under the constraint of geometric distortion, called USR-CGD, is presented in this work. Although it is straightforward to define a rectifying transformation (or homography) given the epipolar geometry, many existing algorithms have unwanted geometric distortions as a side effect. To obtain rectified images with reduced geometric...

Stereo Rectification of Un-calibrated and Heterogeneous Image-Pairs

In this paper, an algorithm to rectify a pair of heterogeneous images is presented. In particular, the pair of images is captured by using different sensors like static and dynamic cameras thus having different focal lengths and/or image resolutions. This combination of cameras is used as a binocular vision system. The pairs of images are made homogeneous based on the focal ratio of the two cam...

3D Surface Reconstruction of Underwater Objects

In this paper, we propose a novel technique to reconstruct 3D surface of an underwater object using stereo images. Reconstructing the 3D surface of an underwater object is really a challenging task due to degraded quality of underwater images. There are various reason of quality degradation of underwater images i.e., non-uniform illumination of light on the surface of objects, scattering and ab...
