We investigate the acquisition of 3-D scenes by a single hand-held camera. The camera is mounted on a special device with four mirrors, enabling stereo capturing of the scene. We will discuss the signal processing tasks involved, camera calibration and correspondence estimation, and show that both of them benefit from the use of the device. Specifi...

In this paper, we propose a new approach to camera calibration from silhouettes under circular motion with minimal data. We exploit the mirror symmetry property and derive a common homography that relates silhouettes with epipoles under circular motion. With the epipoles determined, the homography can be computed from the frontier points induced by...
By active stereo we mean a stereo vision system that allows for independent panning and tilting for each of the two cameras. One advantage of active stereo in relation to regular stereo is the former's wider effective field of view; if an object is too close to the camera baseline, the depth to the object can still be estimated accurately by pannin...
Wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) have become increasingly popular in recent years, driven in part by the increasing commoditization of small, low-cost CMOS sensors. As such, the challenge of automatically calibrating these types of cameras nodes has become an important research problem, especially for the case when a large quantity of th...
The swirling flow in a diffuser has been studied using the stereo PIV technique. The DANTEC hardware and software were used for the experiment. The water pipe flow in the diffuser inlet has been set spinning by introducing tangential jet flow. Both piping and diffuser were of circular cross-section, however diffuser casing had rectangular (square)...
Flexible mirror imaging systems consisting of a perspective camera viewing a scene reflected in a flexible mirror can provide direct control over image field-of-view and resolution. However, calibration of such systems is difficult due to the vast range of possible mirror shapes and the flexible nature of the system. This paper proposes the fundame...
