3D-OBJECT DETECTION METHOD BASED ON THE STEREO IMAGE TRANSFORMATION TO THE COMMON OBSERVATION POINT

The method of 3D-object detection by stereo image processing is considered where object is situated on the smooth surface. Stereo image is obtained by passive sensor such as TV-camera, IR-camera and so on. It is supposed that some long landmarks are present on the underlying surface and position of those landmarks is determined for booth left and right images of the stereo-pair.
