Imagers based on focal plane arrays (FPA) risk introducing in-band and out-of-band spurious response, or aliasing, due to undersampling. This can make high-level discrimination tasks such as recognition and identification much more difficult. To overcome this problem, three-chip color charge coupled device (CCD) cameras typically offset one CCD by 1/2 pixel with respect to the other two. Analogously, monochrome imagers including infrared can use microscan (or dither) to reduce aliasing. This...
Synopsis: Homography transform in Fourier spectrum with application to object recognition. Ideally, recognition of objects should be projection, scale, translation and rotation invariant, just as they are in human vision. This, however, is a very complex problem, since numerous times an object is occluded and many objects rarely appear the same twice, due to different camera/observer positions, variable lighting or object motion. Our goal in this regard is to investigate autonomous object recognition in unconstrained environments by means of outlines of the objects, which we will refer to as the contours. One of the reasons for the popularity of contour-based analysis techniques is that edge detection constitutes an important aspect of shape recognition by the human visual system. The main motivation behind this work is that 2-D homography may overcome the problem of noise sensitivity and boundary variations.
Image alignment is the process of matching one image called template (let's denote it as T) with another image, I (see the above figure). There are many applications for image alignment, such as tracking objects on video, motion analysis, and many other tasks of computer vision. In 1981, Bruse D. Lucas and Takeo Kanade proposed a new technique that used image intensity gradient information to search for the best match between a template T and another image I. The proposed algorithm has been widely used in the field of computer vision for the last 20 years, and has had many modifications and extensions. One of such modifications is an algorithm proposed by Simon Baker, Frank Dellaert, and Iain Matthews. Their algorithm is much more computationally effective than the original Lucas-Kanade algorithm.
This is a release of a Camera Calibration Toolbox for Matlab® with a complete documentation. This document may also be used as a tutorial on camera calibration since it includes general information about calibration, references and related links.
The NASA Vision Workbench (VW) is a modular, extensible, cross-platform computer vision software framework written in C++. It was designed to support a variety of space exploration tasks, including automated science and engineering analysis, robot perception, and 2D/3D environment reconstruction, though it can also serve as a general-purpose image processing and machine vision framework in other contexts as well. The VW was developed within the Autonomous Systems and Robotics area of the Inteligent Systems Division at NASA's Ames Research Center.
Seam carving is a technique developed by Shai Avidan and Ariel Shamir for resizing images by removing the boring bits (content-aware image resizing as they call it).
VXL (the Vision-something-Libraries) is a collection of C++ libraries designed for computer vision research and implementation. It was created from TargetJr and the IUE with the aim of making a light, fast and consistent system. VXL is written in ANSI/ISO C++ and is designed to be portable over many platforms.
