dc.description.abstract | This master s thesis is an experimental study on passive stereo techniques for
retrieving 3D scene information. The stereo camera system is tested for finding
the position of a platform relative to the stereo camera where the measurements
are used for navigating an autonomous docking system installed on offshore vessels.
The accuracy of passive stereo techniques depends on having precise knowledge of the cameras position, orientation and internal parameters. Calibrating
these parameters is a key part of the success of the stereo camera. For a point
in the scene imaged from two different known view points, the displacement of
the point reprojection in the images are inversely proportional to depth and can
b e used to compute the 3D coordinate. The problem of establishing correspondences in the image pair is a difficult task and there exist several algorithms
for solving the correspondence problem.
In this thesis, we have evaluated the accuracy of the stereo camera system
for computing 3D information of the scene and proposed an optimal baseline
length to improve the accuracy. Six different of algorithms have been tested for
solving the correspondence problem for this application. The algorithms considered are the correlation based methods: Sum of absolute differences, squared
sum of differences and normalized cross correlation. Together with the feature
based methods: Harris corner detector, scale invariant feature transform and
speeded up robust features. The performance of each algorithm is compared
through a field experiment to conclude on the b est one.
Based on the results of the experiment, the correlation based methods proves
to be best suited for this application where the sum of squared differences is
considered as the superior algorithm for solving the correspondence problem. | en |
