ABSTRACT:
The automatic processing of stereo-images to determine terrain height has proved to be a far from trivial problem.
Methods have been developed by a number of people that rely on operator guidance in establishing ground control
points or seed points to start the matching process.
In an attempt to remove the operator interaction altogether, we have developed an unsupervised feature-based
matching method based on identifying patches of uniform colour. By comparing the shapes and positions of such
patches, we can establish how coarse features of the two images match, giving us a method for initiating the
matching process.
Details of the shape comparison method are presented, along with results when applied to SPOT stereo-pairs and
close range images.
1. INTRODUCTION
The use of stereo-images for estimating distance to
parts of a scene has been long established in
photogrammetry and in robotics. The task of
automating the matching process has been an active
research area for a decade, with many published
methods and some commercial systems now available
(Kauffman and Wood, 1987; Otto and Chau, 1989; Day
and Muller, 1989; Li, 1991; Schenk et al, 1991; Trinder
et al, 1990, 1993). Almost all of these methods rely on
an operator providing seed points to start the matching
process.
In an effort to minimize the extent of operator
involvement in this process, we have looked at the
challenge of performing the matching entirely
automatically. If we can succeed at this, it will find
immediate application in robotics and in close-range
work with fixed camera positions. Its application to
photogrammetry will be of less advantage, because
ground control points are needed to overcome
uncertainty in the position of the viewpoints and
viewing direction. Nevertheless, success could reduce
the dependence in photogrammetry on so many ground
control points, with fewer requiring to be located in the
image, and the remainder being supplied as X,Y,Z
coordinates to be reconciled with the matching process.
This would alleviate the problem of precisely locating
all the points in the images, an unfortunate source of
error in current methods.
To automate the matching process, we have considered
the human visual system and the way we would
perform the task if denied the option of using our eyes
concurrently, one for each view. Of course, human
physiology is extremely efficient in performing this
matching process in everyday life, where both eyes
concurrently provide the differing views, and the brain
is able to roughly estimate distance over a whole scene
within a fraction of a second. The challenge of
performing similar matching with computer hardware
remains a very distant goal.
When humans are denied concurrent access to the two
views, our visual system is still able to match them, but
is much less efficient, by several orders of magnitude.
When confronted with two views, the eyes rapidly
search for features that can be located in the other
image, and from coarse details such as these, finer
comparisons are made, picking up more subtle
differences and similarities in the images.
Different types of feature have been investigated by
various workers seeking to mimic this behaviour within
a computer. Edge features, or lines where there is a
major change in light intensity across them, have
received much attention (Marr and Hildreth, 1980;
Harallick, 1984; Greenfeld, 1987; Otto and Chau, 1989;
Schenk et al, 1991). They are not always easy to work
with, because of difficulties in defining which direction
the changes in intensity needs to be measured along,
and in setting a threshold which will give continuity of
edges while not swamping the matching process with
too much unwanted detail. Point features, such as
corners of objects, are particularly attractive because
they are easy to compare (Moravec, 1977; Forstner,
1986, 1987; Trinder et al., 1990), and extension to the
whole area from the found features is quite natural.
The approach we have adopted is to look for features
which are areas of uniform colour (Abbasi and
Freeman, 1994a). This is motivated by looking at
images of natural terrain, where water bodies and roofs
of buildings are often the first features identified. Of
course, these are not the only features that can be
