Lecture "Stereo Image Processing" (winter term 2024/2025)
Stereo Image Processing
Date: Monday, starting on 14th of October 2024
Time: 10:00 - 12:00
Room: Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institut, Lanolinfabrik, Salzufer 15-16, 5th floor, room LF.05-28
Passive depth analysis using stereo image processing is applied in a large variety of domains such as media production, robotic, quality control, and production, medical, security and remote sensing. New visualization techniques, like Virtual and Augmented Reality offer completely new application scenarios. In this course, the fundamentals of projective geometry is taught and and the geometric relationship between two camera views is presented. In this context, the estimation of camera parameters and the correspondence analysis in stereo images and videos will be discussed. The practical use of stereo image processing is illustrated by current research projects at Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute.

Media Production, Delivery and Interaction for Platform Independent Systems:
Format-Agnostic Media.
by O. Schreer, J.-F. Macq, O.A. Niamut, J. Ruiz-Hidalgo, B. Shirley, G. Thallinger, G. Thomas (eds.), John Wiley & Sons, Chichester, UK, January 2014
Presents current trends and potential future developments by leading researchers in immersive media production, delivery, rendering and interaction. The underlying audio and video processing technology that is discussed in the book relates to areas such as 3D object extraction, audio event detection; 3D sound rendering and face detection, gesture analysis and tracking using video and depth information. The book will give an insight into current trends and developments of future media production, delivery and reproduction. Consideration of the complete production, processing and distribution chain will allow for a full picture to be presented to the reader. Production developments covered will include integrated workflows developed by researchers and industry practitioners as well as capture of ultra-high resolution panoramic video and 3D object based audio across a range of programme genres. Distribution developments will include script based format agnostic network delivery to a full range of devices from large scale public panoramic displays with wavefield synthesis and ambisonic audio reproduction to ’small screen’ mobile devices. Key developments at the consumer end of the chain apply to both passive and interactive viewing modes and will incorporate user interfaces such as gesture recognition and ‘second screen’ devices to allow manipulation of the audio visual content.

Seit März 2005 ist ein deutschsprachiges Lehrbuch zur "Stereoanalyse und Bildsynthese" im Springer Verlag erhältlich. Weitere Informationen finden sie hier.
Dieses Buch behandelt das sehr junge Forschungsgebiet der Stereobildanalyse und Bildsynthese. Basierend auf einer ausführlichen Darstellung der projektiven Geometrie leitet der Autor das mathematische Modell einer einzelnen Kamera, die Stereogeometrie und die geometrischen Beziehungen zwischen mehreren Kameraansichten her. Er erläutert detailliert die Herausforderungen in der Stereoanalyse, gibt eine Übersicht über existierende Verfahren und Lösungskonzepte und beschreibt moderne Bildsyntheseverfahren. Zahlreiche praktische Beispiele ergänzen die detaillierten mathematischen Ausführungen und erleichtern so das Verständnis. Das Buch überzeugt durch den logischen Aufbau und durch die geschlossene Erläuterung der mathematischen Grundlagen in einer einheitlichen Form und Notation. Es eignet sich besonders für Studierende und Wissenschaftler der Elektrotechnik und Informatik, insbesondere der Kommunikationstechnik.
Geschrieben für:
Studierende an Universitäten und Technischen Hochschulen in Elektrotechnik, Nachrichtentechnik, Informatik, Kommunikationstechnik; wissenschaftlich Tätige in Forschung und Industrie (Industrielle Bildverarbeitung, Videokommunikation, Medienproduktion).
