Stereoscopic object detection leveraging expected object distance
Abstract:
A method of object detection includes receiving a first image taken from a first perspective by a first camera and receiving a second image taken from a second perspective, different from the first perspective, by a second camera. Each pixel in the first image is offset relative to a corresponding pixel in the second image by a predetermined offset distance resulting in offset first and second images. A particular pixel of the offset first image depicts a same object locus as a corresponding pixel in the offset second image only if the object locus is at an expected object-detection distance from the first and second cameras. The method includes recognizing that a target object is imaged by the particular pixel of the offset first image and the corresponding pixel of the offset second image.
