STEREO IMAGING:
A movement from 2D imaging to 3D imaging The art and science of processing still and moving images is defined as stereo imaging

Human vision system

Humans feels depth They fuse images formed by our both eyes and then to form cyclopeon image

TECHNOLOGIES FOR STEREO IMAGING

Single camera capture
Dual camera capture

SINGLE CAMERA CAPTURE

Two images taken from single camera from different horizontal points Latest technologies says that varying refractive index to capture the scene at varying depths

DUAL CAMERA CAPTURE

Using two cameras whose parameters are synchronously varied

o Human mechanism to control zoom , converge ,focus etc o Recently the technologies such as stored program control, electronic circuits automated these functions

Parallax and disparity

Original images Aligned images

R
1 row
Z=0 Z=1

Alignment Measure depth with respect to this plane

Z=2 Z=0 Z=2 Z=1

L R

Parallax (3D)

Disparity (1D)

Rectification
or Why we can focus on 1-row
Line corresponds to line (epipolar lines)

Rectified images: epipolar lines are image rows

Homography

Stereo image processing

Stereo vision based on visual disparity Recognition and movement detection will lead to the development of a system that warns the driver of any impending danger of collision

APPLICATIONS
3D movies Traffic detection Xerox machines Robotics 3D finger printing Detecting items and technology can manipulated in any way

Xerox machine
(non-classical cameras, example 1)

As a multi-prospective camera:
