Theory
  • It is impossible to compute the 3D coordinates of
    an object with a single image
  • Solution Stereo Cameras
  • Disparity computation
  • 3D reconstruction

8
Environment Reconstruction
  • Main Goal digital environment 3D reconstruction
  • Object detection (i.e. obstacles)
  • High level planning
  • Self localization
  • Use Stereo Cameras to generate
  • 3D environment

9
Environment Reconstruction
  • Disparity map computation
  • Given 2 images, it is a collection of pixel
    disparities
  • Point distances can be calculated from
    disparities
  • Environment can be reconstructed from disparity
    map

Ego-Motion Estimation
  • Main goal evaluate the motion (translation and
    rotation) of the vehicle from sequences of images

Optical Flow Example
  • Optical Flow is related to vehicle movement
    through the

Perspective Projection Equation
  • Solving will give velocities of the vehicle
  • Least Square solution

Calibration and Filtering
  • Calibration removes image distortion
  • Filtering Process
  • Improves image quality
  • Increases the robustness of the vision system
