3-D geometry reconstruction using a color image stereo pair and partial differential equations

[EN] In this work, we present a new model for a dense disparity estimation and the 3-D geometry reconstruction using a color image stereo pair. First, we present a brief introduction to the 3-D Geometry of a camera system. Next, we propose a new model for the disparity estimation based on an energy functional. We look for the local minima of the energy using the associate Euler-Langrage partial differential equations. This model is a generalization to color image of the model developed in, with some changes in the strategy to avoid the irrelevant local minima. We present some numerical experiences of 3-D reconstruction, using this method some real stereo pairs.

Una metodología para el estudio de las fanerógamas marinas en Canarias

[ES]Se presenta una metodología para el estudio de las fanerógamas marinas en Canarias. Ésta se basa en la aplicación de técnicas cartográficas, mediante la utilización de la totografía aérea y de un sistema de cámara de televisión. Se explica el estudio de los principales parámetros biométricos de las plantas que sirven para la evaluación de las poblaciones.

A C80 DSP-based active vision system for real-time tracking

[EN]Active Vision Systems can be considered as dynamical systems which close the loop around artificial visual perception, controlling camera parameters, motion and also controlling processing to simplify, accelerate and do more robust visual perception. Research and Development in Active Vision Systems [Aloi87], [Bajc88] is a main area of interest in Computer Vision, mainly by its potential application in different scenarios where real-time performance is needed such as robot navigation, surveillance, visual inspection, among many others. Several systems have been developed during last years using robotic-heads for this purpose...
