Depth Perception and Spatial Vision

Depth perception is the ability to perceive objects three-dimensionally. It relies on two types of cues: binocular and monocular. Binocular cues depend on the combination of images from both eyes and how the eyes work together. Since the eyes are in slightly different positions, each eye captures a slightly different image. This disparity between images, known as binocular disparity, helps the brain interpret depth. When the brain compares these images, it determines the distance to an object.

  • Sensor Fusion

Background:

  • Time-of-flight (ToF) sensors and passive stereo vision offer complementary depth sensing capabilities.
  • Accurate depth mapping is crucial for real-time applications in robotics and augmented reality.
  • Integrating diverse sensor data presents challenges in maintaining temporal consistency and spatial accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel method for fusing ToF and passive stereo data for high-accuracy, time-varying depth map generation.
  • To introduce a dynamic Markov Random Field (MRF) model that incorporates temporal coherence for improved depth estimation.
  • To enhance the robustness and accuracy of depth estimates in dynamic scenes.

Main Methods:

  • Extension of traditional spatial MRFs to dynamic MRFs incorporating temporal coherence.
