    • Pseudo Stereovision System (PSVS): A Monocular Mirror-based Stereovision System 

      Pachidis, Theodore P. (INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)
      A system for stereovision based on mirrors and a beam-splitter, was presented. PSVS, as it is called, is a low cost system with well-located features (accuracy, stability, compact construction). Equations and relations, ...

    • Continuous Machine Learning in Computer Vision - Tracking with Adaptive Class Models 

      Stolkin, Rustam (INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)
      This chapter has explored a number of techniques in vision based tracking, with the common theme of continuous relearning of models of the background and the tracked

    • Biologically Motivated Vergence Control System Based on Stereo Saliency Map Model 

      Sang-Woo, Bana; Minho, Lee (INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)
      We proposed a new biologically motivated vergence control method of an active stereo vision system that mimics human-like stereo visual selective attention. We used a trainable selective attention model that can decide an ...

    • A Novel Omnidirectional Stereo Vision System with a Single Camera 

      Yi, Sooyeong; Ahuja, Narendra (INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)
      Wide field of view is the most attractive feature of the omnidirectional vision. There exist two approaches to omnidirectional stereo imaging with a single camera. They use: (1) a double lobed mirror (Fiala & Basu, ...

    • Image Processing Techniques for Unsupervised Pattern Classification 

      Botte-Lecocq, C.; Hammouche, K.; Moussa, A. (INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)
      All the clustering methods presented in this chapter tend to generalize bi-dimensional procedures initially developed for image processing purpose. Among them, thresholding, edge detection, probabilistic relaxation, ...

    • A Sensors System for Indoor Localisation of a Moving Target Based on Infrared Pattern Recognition 

      Petrellis, Nikos; Konofaos, Nikos; Alexiou, George (INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)
      A novel method for the indoor localisation of a target was presented in this chapter. This method is based on measuring the number of the digital infrared patterns received by the target in a specific time interval (success ...

    • Projective Rectification with Minimal Geometric Distortion 

      Wu, Hsien-Huang P.; Chen, Chih-Cheng (INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)
      This chapter presented a new way of parameterizing the homography, which leads to a new approach of projective rectification for stereo images. Compared with the previous works, the novelty of this new algorithm is that ...

    • Articulated Hand Tracking by ICA-based Hand Model and Multiple Cameras 

      Gang Xu, Makoto Kato; Chen, Yen-Wei (INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)
      In this chapter, we proposed three new approaches, the ICA-based hand model, articulated hand motion tracking by multiple cameras, and Particle filtering with prediction. The ICA-based hand model is the ICA-based representation ...

    • A Learning Approach for Adaptive Image Segmentation 

      Martin, Vincent; Thonnat, Monique (INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)
      In this chapter, we have proposed a learning approach for three major issues of image segmentation: context adaptation, algorithm selection and parameter tuning according to the image content and the application need. This ...
