gesture and motion recognition are needed for a variety of applications. the use of human hand motions as a natural interface tool has motivated researchers to conduct research in the modeling, analysis and recognition of various hand movements. in particular, human-computer intelligent interaction has been a focus of research in vision-based gesture recognition. in this work, we introduce a 3-...

Passive stereo vision is proposed to work in a complimentary manner with active stereo vision for detection of smooth surfaces of deformed plates. Passive stereo vision is used to obtain the boundary of the smooth surfaces, whereas active stereo vision with the projection of structured light is applied to detect the details of the surfaces. An inherent problem in passive stereo vision, called f...

Stereo Vision is an area of study in the field of Machine Vision that attempts to recreate the human vision system by using two or more 2D views of the same scene to derive 3D depth information about the scene. Depth information can be used to track moving objects in 3D space, gather distance information for scene features, or to construct a 3D spatial model of a scene. As an emerging technolog...

Catadioptric Omni-Directional Stereo Vision (ODSV) technology is the combination of omni-directional imaging and stereo vision, which has wide application potentials on robot vision and large-scale video surveillance [1-4]. Fig.1 gives the framework of ODSV technology, which includes four major parts: the design of omni-directional stereo vision imaging system, unwarping of omni-directional ste...

This paper presents a review on vision aided systems and proposes an approach for visual rehabilitation using stereo vision technology. The proposed system utilizes stereo vision, image processing methodology and a sonification procedure to support blind navigation. The developed system includes a wearable computer, stereo cameras as vision sensor and stereo earphones, all moulded in a helmet. ...

in this research for detection and separation cultivation platforms and flowerpots from each other, localization the corner of platforms and position of the flowerpots to form of two-dimensional point and creation two-dimensional map of greenhouse, used three-dimensional coordinates of environment components. results obtained from this research, showed that the proposed algorithm can detect 100...
