摘要:
The present technology relates to a signal processing apparatus, a signal processing method, and a program that enable calibration with high precision. The signal processing apparatus includes a first position calculation unit that calculates a three-dimensional position of a target on a first coordinate system from a stereo image captured by a stereo camera, a second position calculation unit that calculates a three-dimensional position of the target on a second coordinate system from a sensor signal of a sensor capable of obtaining position information of at least one of a lateral direction and a longitudinal direction and position information of a depth direction, a correspondence detection unit that detects a correspondence relationship between the target on the first coordinate system and the target on the second coordinate system, and a positional relationship information estimating unit that estimates positional relationship information of the first coordinate system and the second coordinate system on the basis of the detected correspondence relationship. The present technology is applicable to, for example, signal processing apparatuses for sensor fusion.
摘要:
A SAR imaging method is provided that performs N SAR acquisitions in stripmap mode of areas of the earth's surface by means of a synthetic aperture radar transported by an aerial or satellite platform and which includes a single, non-partitioned antenna and a single receiver coupled to the single, non-partitioned antenna, N being an integer greater than one. Each SAR acquisition in stripmap mode is performed using a respective squint angle with respect to the flight direction of the synthetic aperture radar and a respective elevation angle with respect to the nadir of the synthetic aperture radar. The method may further generate SAR images of areas of the respective swath observed via the SAR acquisition in stripmap mode. All SAR images have the same azimuth resolution that is equal to half the physical or equivalent length along the azimuth direction of the single, non-partitioned antenna of the synthetic aperture radar.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for processing images. A sequence of images for a scene is received from an imaging system. An object in the scene is detected using the sequence of images. A viewpoint of the imaging system is registered to a model of the scene using a region in the model of the scene in which an expected behavior of the object is expected to occur.

A method for navigation comprises constructing a current map that includes two-dimensional or three dimensional representations of an area, detecting one or more edge features on the current map, and generating a first fine-edge map based on the edge features. The method further comprises retrieving a historical map that includes two-dimensional or three dimensional representations of the area, detecting one or more edge features on the historical map, and generating a second fine-edge map based on the edge features. Thereafter, a coarse version of the current map is generated from the first fine-edge map, and a coarse version of the historical map is generated from the second fine-edge map. The coarse versions of the current and historical maps are then correlated to determine a first position and orientation. The first fine-edge map is then correlated with the second fine-edge map to determine a second, more accurate, position and orientation.
摘要:
An image processing method using an algorithm which incorporates simulated annealing by parallel Markov chains, the calculation of fitness values of states of the Markov chains which have substantially the same simulated annealing temperature, the calculation of the standard deviation of these fitness values, and the use of this standard deviation in setting the simulated annealing cooling schedule. The method may be used to delineate an object of interest in an image against a background by estimating the boundary of the object and optimising the fit of the region within this boundary to the region occupied by the object.

The present invention is directed to a method of adaptive removal of speckle noise in digital images. The method comprises receiving a digital image, calculating a global estimate for the ratio between standard deviation and mean value of the brightness or intensity of said image and calculating a local estimate for the ratio between standard deviation and mean value of the brightness for predetermined first regions of said image. According to the method, the difference between the global estimate and the local estimate for said first regions is calculated and said first regions are classified depending on the calculated difference.
