Applications of light fields in Computer Vision • The goals of this project is to examine : • Object recognition • Occlusion Detection • 3D reconstruction of a scene
What is object recognition? • Given test image, we want to determine what the image is. • Steps for conventional object recognition: • Collect dataset • Divide into positive/ negative data • Extract features (ex: sift..) • Train a classifier for extracted features • Given a test image: Extract the features • Use the classifier to determine which object it is
The problem • Conventional methods use 2d information of the objects for detection. • Example: a bottle and a picture of a bottle on a piece of paper.
Lytro light field camera • Using the lytro camera we are able to include 3d information with one single shot. • The camera manages to capture all the light field direction, intensity and color.
Stereo • The conventional way of capturing 3d information is using stereo • Finding the correspondents is difficult • However finding the correspondents can be avoided… \.
epi • Epipolar plane images • Can be used to represent 3d information of the object • This project/research is based on using epi to describe the objects and increase the object recognition accuracy
Steps: • Choose 5 categories for classification • Collect dataset using the light field camera • Extract the photos, using the lytro software
5 categories for dataset using light field camera • Bicycles • Bus • Trees/flowers • Buildings • trucks
Assignment • There has been a similar study to improve object recognition and tracking • Scale-invariant representation of light field images for object recognition and tracking • Ecolepolytechniquefederale de Lausanne (Switzerland)
