In this paper we present a new method for the selfcalibration of a stereo camera pair including lens distortion. A single stereo image pair is used without calibration object or prior knowledge of the scene. The method is based on the estimation of a stereo image correspondence field followed by extraction of the calibration parameters. The corresp...

Context 1
... scalar field 0 ≤ α L < π models the direction of the epipolar lines in the left image, defined as the angle between the x L axis and the line tangent to the epipolar curve. Figure 2 shows the situation in which there is no lens distortion and the epipolar curves are straight lines. For a distortionless left camera the following holds: ...
Context 2
... we project the line l L onto the right image plane using the correspondence field m. As depicted in Figure 2, the uniform parametrization by λ L is not preserved by the projection. It is affected by both calibration parameters and disparity, which is a function of the particular 3-D scene. ...

We propose a method for the reconstruction of signals and images observed partially through a linear operator with a large support (e.g., a Fourier transform on a sparse set). This inverse problem is ill-posed and we resolve it by incorporating the prior information that the reconstructed objects are composed of smooth regions separated by sharp tr...

This paper is concerned with the reconstruction of images (or signals) from incomplete, noisy data, obtained at the output of an observation system. The solution is defined in maximum a posteriori (MAP) sense and it appears as the global minimum of an energy function joining a convex data-fidelity term and a Markovian prior energy. The sought image...

Energy minimization is often the key point of solving problems in computer vision. For decades, many methods have been proposed (deterministic, stochastic,...). Some can only reach local minimum and others strong local minimum close to the optimal solution (global minimum). Since beginning of 21th century, minimization based on Graph theory have be...

In image analysis and image processing most methods require the selection of model parameters such as thresholds. As this task can be rather complex, it is often conducted by a human operator. Here a generally applicable automatic estimation scheme for model parameters is proposed. The parameter space is explored to find a global optimum by simulat...

We propose a Markov random field (MRF) image segmentation model, which aims at combining color and texture features. The theoretical framework relies on Bayesian estimation via combinatorial optimization (simulated annealing). The segmentation is obtained by classifying the pixels into different pixel classes. These classes are represented by multi...
