In the vision 3-D measurement field, camera calibration results directly affect the accuracy of measurement. So camera calibration method is hot spot in this field. This paper proposes a new efficient calibration method with binocular camera. First, the method uses an accurate extraction algorithm to extract the ellipse center of calibration target image. Second, the paper presents a automatic ...

A new method named Landmark Model Matching was recently proposed for fully automatic face recognition. It was inspired by Elastic Bunch Graph Matching and Active Shape Model. Landmark Model Matching consists of four phases: creation of the landmark distribution model, face finding, landmark finding, and recognition. A drawback in Landmark Model Matching is that, in the recognition phase, the we...

Generally contour matching is diicult, and the problem becomes more diicult when the motion between successive image frames is large. When the image frames are obtained while the camera is in motion, we can use constraints about the scene and the camera. In this paper we propose a contour matching algorithm which guarantees an accurate matching result, even for large motion contours. The key id...
