A Computer Vision Toolbox

Abstract

Computer vision is a hot research topic. The goal is to empower a computer or robot with vision, similar to the human visual system. Some of the typical subproblems are: reconstruction of a three-dimensional scene from a set of images, recognition of previously seen objects, and calculation of camera motion relative to the scene. This has proved to be an extremely difficult task. However, some of these problems can be solved in simple cases. As an example, the calculation of three-dimensional structure and camera motion relative to the scene, the so called structure and motion problem, is more or less solved for the case of point configurations. We will present different tools, implemented in MATLAB, that performs a number of computer vision tasks. The paper also includes examples of experiments and point out possible applications. 1 Introduction Computer vision is a rapidly growing research field, with activities all over the world. The field is of importance for such various applic...
