Three-Dimensional Computer Vision

By Yoshiaki Shirai. 1987

There are some difficulties in applying 3-dimensional computer vision to industry. One of them is that a vast amount of computation is required for low level processing. Some special hardware systems are described and one device is shown in more detail. Applications of the hardware are discussed in three examples. Two methods for range data acquisition employing special processors are described. Then our studies for range data processing are introduced. Finally, a complete production system is proposed which makes use of unified geometric models to be shared by CAD, CAM, and visual processing. This approach can solve a second difficulty in applying 3-dimensional computer vision to industry, namely the problem of the extensive programming effort that is required.
