摘要: A method, system, article of manufacture, and UAV configured to identify a target object shown in an image, such as shown in a perspective view that is a two-dimensional image or frame of video. The method comprises: identifying and track the position of a target object shown in a sequence of images or video, even when the target object may be traveling at high speeds, detecting the target object within an image based on one or more of the object's physical characteristics, such as its color, shape, size, chrominance, luminance, brightness, lightness, darkness, and/or other characteristics. Thus, in this context a target object may be anything having one or more detectable physical characteristics. The method also providing an improved and more intuitive user interface that enables a user to select a target object for tracking. As a result, the method and system improve the accuracy, usability, and robustness of the system.

摘要: A method includes obtaining an image frame captured by an imaging device carried by an unmanned vehicle and containing the target object, extracting one or more features of a target object from a region selected by a user on the image frame, and determining whether the target object is a predetermined recognizable object type based on a comparison of the one or more features with one or more characteristics associated with the predetermined recognizable object type. If the target object is the predetermined recognizable object type, tracking functions associated with the predetermined recognizable object type are initiated. IF the target object does not belong to the predetermined recognizable object type, tracking functions associated with a general object type are initiated.

摘要: A system for automatically adjusting a baseline of an imaging system for stereoscopic imaging and methods for making and using same. The imaging system includes a plurality of imaging devices that cooperate via a baseline adjustment mechanism. The imaging devices can acquire images of an object of interest and ascertain an object distance between the stereoscopic imaging system and the object of interest using triangulation. Based on the object distance, the baseline adjustment mechanism automatically adjusts a baseline between any pair of imaging devices. The baseline can be reduced when the object of interest is proximate to the imaging system and can be increased when the object of interest is distal. Once the baseline has been adjusted, one or more extrinsic parameters of the imaging devices are calibrated using a two-step optimization method. The imaging system is suitable for use aboard a mobile platform such as an unmanned aerial vehicle.
