Open source Structure-from-Motion and Multi-View Stereo tools with C++
Structure-from-Motion (SFM) is genuinely an interesting topic in computer vision, Basically making 3D structure from something 2D is absolutely mesmerizing 🙂 There two open source yet very robust tools for SFM, which sometimes compiling them might be complicated, here I will share my experience with you. 1)VisualSFM Prerequisite: 1)Glew Download the glew from SF at //glew.sourceforge.net/. Do NOT get it from Github as

Effect of focal length on image
Have you ever wondered why the selfie that you are taking with your phone is so bad while when you taking a photo a decent Nikon or Canon DSLR you get a nice portrait? This happens due to the size of the sensor and focal length. Since the sensor in your cell-phone is very small

Stitching image using SIFT and Homography
This Matlab tutorial I use SIFT, RANSAC, and homography to find corresponding points between two images. Here I have used vlfeat to find SIFT features. Full code is available at my GitHub repository Major steps are: 0.Adding vlfeat to your Matlab workspace:
|
1 |
run('<path_to_vlfeat>/toolbox/vl_setup') |
1.Detect key points and extract descriptors. In the image below you can see some SIFT key

Colour based object Tracking with OpenCV
In many applications, you need to track an object. One simple method is color based tracking. I have developed a simple tool for that with OpenCV. All you have to do is just to adjust the High and Low values of HSV slider in the left window till you filter the image and you only see your

Lucas–Kanade method optical flow with MATLAB
In this tutorial, I will show you how to estimate optical flow based on Lucas–Kanade method. This project has the following scripts: Optical_flow_estimation, myFlow, myWarp, computeColor, flowToColor. The myFlow does the main job, it gets two images and a window length (patch length) and a threshold for accepting the optical flow. In the following, you see the myFlow. You can uncomment figure function calls

6DOF pose estimation with Aruco marker and ROS
ArUco is a simple yet great library for augmented reality applications. In this tutorial, I’m gonna show you how to track ArUco marker and estimate their 6DOF pose with ROS. For this tutorial, you only need a USB camera. You need to calibrate your camera before first. If you don’ know how to that just follow my other tutorial

PCL pointcloud pairwise registration
registration is aligning 3D point cloud on each other such that it gives you a complete model. To achieve this, you need to find the relative positions and orientations of each point cloud, such that you maximize the overlapping intersecting areas between them [1]. So I got the idea from here and I implemented a software

The moon is sphere! structure from motion confirms that :)
So the other day I saw this beautiful 360-degree video of the moon and I decided to see what would I get if I apply SFM (structure from motion) algorithm to the images in the video. So I extracted the image frame by frame from the video and feed the to SFM algorithm and the
