Study Notes
- Human vision serves as the inspiration for many computer vision algorithms
Visual Perception
- Visual perception in humans is a complex process involving the eye and brain
- The eye acts as a camera, focusing light onto the retina
- The retina contains photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) that convert light into electrical signals
- Rods are responsible for night vision and detecting motion
- Cones are responsible for color vision and fine details, concentrated in the fovea
- The brain interprets these signals to create a visual representation of the world
- High-level understanding involves object recognition, scene understanding, and contextual reasoning
- Computer vision aims to replicate these capabilities in machines
Image Processing Techniques
- Image processing enhances images for better analysis
- Image processing includes filtering, edge detection, segmentation, and feature extraction
- Filtering removes noise or enhances specific features
- Edge detection identifies boundaries of objects
- Segmentation divides an image into meaningful regions
- Feature extraction identifies unique characteristics of objects
- Image processing is essential for computer vision tasks
Camera Models
- Camera models describe the mathematical relationship between 3D points and their 2D projections
- The pinhole camera model is a simple and widely used model
- It represents the camera as a point (the camera center) and a projection plane
- Projective transformation maps 3D world coordinates to 2D image coordinates
- Intrinsic parameters define the camera's internal characteristics (focal length, principal point)
- Extrinsic parameters define the camera's position and orientation in the world
Depth Perception
- Depth perception allows us to perceive the distance to objects
- Human depth perception relies on cues such as stereopsis, motion parallax, and perspective
- Stereopsis uses the difference between two images from different viewpoints
- Motion parallax uses the relative motion of objects as the viewpoint changes
- Perspective uses the convergence of parallel lines to estimate depth
- Computer vision techniques for depth perception include stereo vision, structure from motion, and depth sensors
Computer Vision Applications
- Computer vision has numerous applications in various fields
- Object recognition identifies objects in an image or video
- Face recognition identifies individuals from their facial features
- Image recognition identifies objects, people, places, and actions in images
- Self-driving cars use computer vision to navigate and avoid obstacles
- Medical imaging analyzes medical images for diagnosis and treatment planning
- Robotics uses computer vision for robot navigation and object manipulation
- Surveillance systems use computer vision for security and monitoring
- Augmented reality overlays computer-generated images onto the real world
- Quality Control identifies defects or anomalies in manufacturing processes
