Restricted by the ability of depth perception, all Multi-view 3D object detection methods fall into bottleneck accuracy. By constructing temporal stereo, estimation is quite reliable in indoor scenarios. However, there are two difficulties directly integrating stereo outdoor multi-view detectors: 1) The construction stereos for views results high computing costs. 2) Unable to adapt challenging ...

We propose an obstacle detection method based on trinocular stereo vision which consist of vertical and horizontal stereo cameras. Vertical edges and horizontal edges are extracted from horizontal stereo images and vertical stereo images. Then the edges are used to generate U-V-disparity maps. A rectangular obstacle has a characteristic that it is represented as a vertical line in V-disparity m...

Given two stereo images of a scene, it is possible to recover a 3D understanding of the scene. This is the primary way that the human visual system estimates depth. This process is useful in applications like robotics, where depth sensors may be expensive but a pair of cameras is relatively cheap. In order to construct depth maps from stereo images, we need to first solve the stereo corresponde...

Previous explanations for stereo capture were mainly based on the low-level perceptual processing of binocular stereopsis which usually shows that one pair of retinal images corresponds to only one 3-D perceptual configuration. Stereo capture, however, may encounter multiple perceptual configurations due to the matching ambiguity of wallpaper elements that may not be solved merely by bottom-up ...

In recent years, the development of airbag system has improved the safety of the occupants. However, the car occupant can be often killed by improper airbag operation. Robust detection of vehicle occupant posture is necessary for a safer intelligent airbag deployment system. This paper presents a stereobased method of estimating the posture of the occupant. Utilizing the disparity images and th...

AIM To assess serial, simultaneous stereo optic disc images by four methods for glaucomatous progression. METHODS Using varying techniques, two ophthalmologists assessed serial optic disc images of 52 eyes from 27 patients with a mean duration between images of 18 months. The neuroretinal rim width was qualitatively assessed by four assessment methods and compared with quantitative rim measur...
