Large field of view multi-camera endoscopic apparatus with omni-directional illumination

A multi-camera hemispherical very wide field of view imaging apparatus with omnidirectional illumination capability comprises a cylindrical body (4, 4.a, 4.b), a hemispherical mechanical frame (2) arranged on one end of the cylindrical body (4, 4.a, 4.b), ...

Multi-View Triangulation: Systematic Comparison and an Improved Method

Peng Song

Triangulation is an important task in the 3D reconstruction of computer vision. It seems simple to find the position of a point in 3D space when its 2D perspective projections in multi-view images are given and the corresponding camera projection matrices ...

Beyond Cameras: Real-Time High-Resolution 3D and Panoramic MultiView Vision Systems with Their Applications

Bilal Demir

The cameras are invented by imitating the human visual system to capture the scene. The camera technologies have been substantially advanced in recent years. 108 MP resolution with 100x hybrid zoom has become standard features for smartphone flagships. In ...

Hardware Implementation of a Smart Camera with Keypoint Detection and Description

Selman Ergünay, Yusuf Leblebici

Feature detection and description constitute important steps of many computer vision applications such as object detection and panorama stitching. Since those steps are computationally heavy, they might occupy significant portion of the full operation. Alt ...

Learning Monocular 3D Human Pose Estimation from Multi-view Images

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Frédéric Meyer, Isinsu Katircioglu, Helge Jochen Rhodin, Victor Constantin

Accurate 3D human pose estimation from single images is possible with sophisticated deep-net architectures that have been trained on very large datasets. However, this still leaves open the problem of capturing motions for which no such database exists. Ma ...

Diverse M-Best Solutions by Dynamic Programming

Michaël Unser, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann

Many computer vision pipelines involve dynamic programming primitives such as finding a shortest path or the minimum energy solution in a tree-shaped probabilistic graphical model. In such cases, extracting not merely the best, but the set of M-best soluti ...

FIR filters for hardware-based real-time multi-band image blending

Yusuf Leblebici, Vladan Popovic

Creating panoramic images has become a popular feature in modern smart phones, tablets, and digital cameras. A user can create a 360 degree field-of-view photograph from only several images. Quality of the resulting image is related to the number of source ...

A Spherical Multi-camera System with Real-time Omnidirectional Video Acquisition Capability

Alexandre Schmid, Yusuf Leblebici, Vladan Popovic, Hossein Afshari

A multi-camera system inspired from the visual system of flying insects is introduced which is referred to as the Panoptic camera. In the Panoptic system each camera is mounted over a hemispherical geometry and has its own vision of surrounding and distinc ...

Alignment of uncalibrated images for multi-view classification

Pascal Frossard, Elif Vural, Ömer Sercan Arik

Efficient solutions for the classification of multi-view images can be built on graph-based algorithms when little information is known about the scene or cameras. Such methods typically require a pairwise similarity measure between images, where a common ...

On unifying sparsity and geometry for image-based 3D scene representation

Ivana Tosic

Demand has emerged for next generation visual technologies that go beyond conventional 2D imaging. Such technologies should capture and communicate all perceptually relevant three-dimensional information about an environment to a distant observer, providin ...

Coarse scene geometry estimation from sparse approximations of multi-view omnidirectional images

Pascal Frossard, Ivana Tosic

This paper presents a framework for coarse scene geometry estimation, based on sparse representations of omnidirectional images with geometrical basis functions. We introduce a correlation model that relates sparse components in different views with local ...

Wyner-Ziv coding of multi-view omnidirectional images with overcomplete decompositions

Pascal Frossard, Ivana Tosic

This paper addresses the problem of distributed coding of light fields in camera networks. A novel distributed coding scheme with side information is presented, based on spherical image expansion over an overcomplete dictionary of geometric atoms. We propo ...
