Abstract Using three years of the Clouds Optically Gridded by Stereo (COGS) product, mean cloud base, top, width, and spacing are described with respect to their seasonal and/or diurnal evolution at Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Southern Great Plains (SGP) site. In addition confirming extending prior results, data show that effective diameter shallow cumuli approximately equal height ...

Using stereo disparity or depth information to detect and track moving objects is receiving increasing attention in recent years. However, this approach suffers from some difficulties, such as synchronisation between two cameras and doubling of the image-data size. Besides, traditional stereo-imaging systems have a limited field of view (FOV), which means that they need to rotate the cameras wh...

In this paper we describe an algorithm for object recognition and cognitive map formation using stereo image data in a 3D virtual world where 3D objects and a robot with stereo imaging system are simulated. Stereo imaging system is simulated so that the actual human visual system properties are parameterized. Only the stereo images obtained from this world are supplied to the virtual robot (age...

A wide range of low level vision problems have been formulated in terms of finding the most probable assignment of a Markov Random Field (or equivalently the lowest energy configuration). Perhaps the most successful example is in the case of stereo vision. For the stereo problem, it has been shown that finding the global optimum is NP hard but good results have been obtained using a number of a...
