Let’s recap the important points from the topics we have covered in our discussion of optical flow and visual servoing.
lesson
The image Jacobian depends not only on the image plane coordinates but also the distance from the camera to the points of interest. If this distance is not known, what can we do? Let’s look at how we can determine this distance, and how the optical flow equation can be rearranged to convert from observed […]
lesson
The relationship between world coordinates, image coordinates and camera spatial velocity is elegantly summed up by a single matrix equation that involves what we call the image Jacobian.
lesson
Let’s recap the important points from the topics we have covered about homogeneous coordinates, image formation, camera modeling and planar homographies.
lesson
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 […]
lesson
Let’s look at some simple monadic functions such as type conversion, brightness and contrast adjustment, inversion and posterisation and the effect they have on an image.
lesson
There is a lot of information in an image which we need to summarize somehow. An intensity histogram is one form of summary that provides useful information about how well the exposure of our camera is adjusted.
lesson
Let’s recap some of the most important topics we’ve covered about treating an image as a matrix within MATLAB which we can display or index into.
lesson
We use MATLAB and some Toolbox functions to create a robot controller that moves a camera so the image matches what we want it to look like. We call this an image-based visual servoing system.
lesson
The relationship between world coordinates, image coordinates and camera spatial velocity has some interesting ramifications. Some very different camera motions cause identical motion of points in the image, and some camera motions leads to no change in the image at all in some parts of the image. Let’s explore at these phenomena and how we […]
