Abstract

A method for pedestrian detection from challenging real world outdoor scenes is presented in this paper. This technique is able to extract multiple pedestrians, of varying orientations and appearances, from a scene even when faced with large and multiple occlusions. The technique is also robust to changing background lighting conditions and effects, such as shadows. The technique applies an enhanced method from which reliable disparity information can be obtained even from untextured homogeneous areas within a scene. This is used in conjunction with ground plane estimation and biometric information,to obtain reliable pedestrian regions. These regions are robust to erroneous areas of disparity data and also to severe pedestrian occlusion, which often occurs in unconstrained scenarios.

Stereo vision using two PTZ cameras

The research of traditional stereo vision is mainly based on static cameras. As PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras are able to obtain multi-view-angle and multi-resolution information, they have received more and more concern in both research and real ...
Omnivergent Stereo

The notion of a virtual camera for optimal 3D reconstruction is introduced. Instead of planar perspective images that collect many rays at a fixed viewpoint, omnivergent cameras collect a small number of rays at many different viewpoints. The resulting ...
Scene flow estimation from stereo video source
ACAI '11: Proceedings of the International Conference on Advances in Computing and Artificial Intelligence

There are various methods to estimate the scene flow. Most of the methods use motion estimation with stereo re-construction. This paper describes an interesting way to fuse the video from two camera's and create a 3D reconstruction. The proposed ...
