3D Vision Flashcards
3D Vision:
Name a difficulty when real world scenarios are projected from 3D to 2D in camera images.
Depth estimation
What are the main two types for 3D Data Acquisition?
Passive and Active range sensing
How many types of passive methods are there?
4
Shape from:
-stereo;
-motion;
shading;
-focus.
What are the pros of shape from stereo?
- Cheap (use cameras)
- Fast acquisition
What are the cons of shape from stereo?
- Highly dependant on
correspondences quality - Still challenging
What are the characteristics of Shape from motion?
– Similar to stereovision in many ways
– Successive images might be considered as stereo pairs
– With texture, possible to find correspondences (matching techniques, optical flow…) and find fundamental and
essential matrix.
What are the characteristics of shape from shading?
- given a continuous surface, and known illumination: intensity variation in the surfaces depends on its orientation
- Since most surfaces are not uniform and lighting is difficult to control, normally it is combined with other methods
What is shape from focus?
- objects away from focal point are out of focus;
- with different images with different focus its possible to extract depth information
How many types of Active range sensing are there?
- Structured Light Systems
- Laser Range Finder – Time of Flight
How does Structured Light Techniques are implemented?
-Projection of a known pattern
- Acquisition with camera, 3D from pattern deformation in scene.
What are the only positive point about Structured Light Techniques?
It is very accurate
What are the cons of Structured Light Techniques?
- Takes time (often need to scan through an area)
-Sensitive to environment brightness, usually only
implemented in dark or indoor areas. - Short range
When are the Laser Range Finders (LRF) used for?
They are used for larger areas (buildings, rooms)
How do Laser Range Finders (LRF) work?
Working principle:
light pulse time of flight - laser ray in -> reflect on object -> laser ray out
- phase shift: amplitude of frequency modulation - comparison of phases
What are the LRF pros?
- independent from external lighting;
- no need of texture in scene;
-provide directly 3D measurements
