MAPPING DETECTING AND TRACKING OBJECTS IN AN ARBITRARY OUTDOOR SCENE USING ACTIVE VISION

摘要

An active vision based method and system for video capturing is provided herein. The method may include the following steps: illuminating a stationary outdoor scene containing objects, with a structured light exhibiting a specified pattern, at a first angle; capturing reflections from the objects in the stationary scene, in a second angle, the reflections exhibiting distortions of the specified pattern; analyzing the reflected distortions of the specified pattern, to yield a three dimensional model of the stationary scene containing the objects, wherein the specified pattern may include temporal and spatial modulation.
