The method including the steps of: determining the position and orientation of the two dimensional image; for each three dimensional model, computing a histogram-like table having a computed brightness coefficient for each surface normal of the model based on the corresponding value in the two dimensional image, each brightness coefficient depending only on the corresponding surface normal; and either successively rendering each three dimensional model in the determined position and orientation using the surface normals in conjunction with the corresponding computed brightness histogram-like table; and comparing the two dimensional image with each of the rendered three dimensional models or computing the variance of the brightness coefficients that are used to create each bucket of the histogram-like table, a bucket being a set of similar normal values that are lumped together to form a single argument value in the histogram-like table; computing the sum of the variances of the histogram-like table buckets; and ranking the three dimensional models using its computed sum as an error function, the ranking indicating the likelihood that the corresponding three dimensional model matches the two dimensional image. Also provided is a program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform the method steps of the present invention and a computer program product embodied in a computer-readable medium for carrying out the methods of the present invention.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for three dimensional machine vision including a projector and camera. The projector casts a structured light Quadratic Residue Bar Code on the surface to be mapped. The camera then images the surface. The projected image is shifted, and the process is repeated a number of times, according to the particular arrangement selected for the structured light Quadratic Residue Bar Code. The image data collected from this series of images is then processed by relatively simple matrix operations to determine the location of each camera pixel in three dimensional space.

Abstract: A method for solving the stereo correspondence problem transforms the problem into a maximum-flow problem. Once solved, the minimum-cut associated to the maximum-flow results in a disparity surface for the entire image at once. This global approach to stereo analysis provides a more accurate and coherent depth map than the traditional line-by-line stereo method. Moreover, the optimality of the depth surface is guaranteed and can be shown to be a generalization of the dynamic programming approach that is widely used in standard stereo. Results show improved depth estimation as well as better handling of depth discontinuities. While the worst case running time is O(n.sup.3 d.sup.3), the observed average running time is O(n d.sup.1.4) for an image size of n pixels and depth resolution d.
