  • Patent number: 11948333
    Abstract: A disparity image fusion method for multiband stereo cameras belongs to the field of image processing and computer vision. The method obtains pixel disparity confidence information by using the intermediate output of binocular disparity estimation. The confidence information can be used to judge the disparity credibility of the position and assist disparity fusion. The confidence acquisition process makes full use of the intermediate output of calculation, and can be conveniently embedded into the traditional disparity estimation process, with high calculation efficiency and simple and easy operation. In the disparity image fusion method for multiband stereo cameras proposed by the method, the disparity diagrams participating in the fusion are obtained according to the binocular images of the corresponding bands, which makes full use of the information of each band and simultaneously avoiding introducing uncertainty and errors.

  • Patent number: 11908152
    Abstract: The present invention belongs to the field of image processing and computer vision, and discloses an acceleration method of depth estimation for multiband stereo cameras. In the process of depth estimation, during binocular stereo matching in each band, through compression of matched images, on one hand, disparity equipotential errors caused by binocular image correction can be offset to make the matching more accurate, and on the other hand, calculation overhead is reduced. In addition, before cost aggregation, cost diagrams are transversely compressed and sparsely matched, thereby reducing the calculation overhead again. Disparity diagrams obtained under different modes are fused to obtain all-weather, more complete and more accurate depth information.

  • Patent number: 11900634
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for adaptively detecting chessboard sub-pixel level corner points. Adaptive detection of chessboard sub-pixel level corner points is completed by marking position of an initial unit grid on a chessboard, using a homography matrix H calculated by pixel coordinates of four corner points of the initial unit grid in a pixel coordinate system and world coordinates in a world coordinate system to expand outwards, adaptively adjusting size of an iteration window in the process of expanding outwards, and finally spreading to the whole chessboard region.
