High Resolution Photogrammetry
The Photogrammetry Laboratory at Tamaki is working on techniques for producing high resolution 3D 'maps' of an environment in real time. We are studying a range of techniques - range finding, structured lighting and stereo vision. The laboratory's work covers theoretical aspects of the correspondence problem as well as practical techniques to achieve high resolution 'maps' at high speeds - for applications which demand real-time response.
Our real-time stereo hardware produces high resolution disparity maps from 1Mpixel images at 30fps with latencies of a few tens of scanlines (typically <1ms)! This leaves the host processor free to interpret the scene and determine actions needed.
