Stereo with Verging Cameras

Investigator:

Assoc. Prof. Robyn Owens

Ph.D. Student:

Ms Du Quan Huynh

The aim of this project is to develop improved methods of extracting depth information from a stereo pair of images. The novel aspect of this work is that it concentrates on using image regions, rather than image features, for matching. Geometric information deduced from the 2D images is passed on to the 3D regions to build maps of the environment. This project uses a robot head, built in-house, consisting of a pair of verging stereo cameras mounted on a mobile platform.
