When we look at an image we discern objects, and these tend to be groups of similar pixels surrounded by a distinctive edge. We look at intensity profiles in images and use spatial operators with kernels such as the Sobel kernel to find the intensity gradients in an image, and from these find edges in […]

For a camera moving through the environment we frequently wish to track particular world points from one frame to the next. We’ll do a quick introduction to the very large field of feature detection and matching using Harris corner features.

Many scenes, particularly of man-made environments, have very dominant lines due to the edges of objects. The Hough transform is a common technique for finding dominant lines, and we ill examine how it works and apply it to a real image.

We recap the important points from this masterclass.

Let’s recap the important points about spatial operators. Linear operators can be used to smooth images and determine gradients. Template matching can be used to find a face in a crowd. Non-linear operators such as rank filters can be used for noise removal, and mathematical morphology treats shapes according to their compatibility with a structuring […]

We consider a robot with four joints that moves its end-effector in 3D space.
