Abstract
With the development of computer science, there is an increasing demand on the object recognition in stereo images. As a binocular image pair contains larger and more complicated information than a monocular image, the stereo vision analysis has been a difficult task. Therefore how to extract the region of user’s interest is a vital step to reduce the data redundancy and improve the robustness and reliability of the analysis. The original stereo sequences used in the paper are obtained from two parallel video cameras mounted on a vehicle driving in a residential area. This paper targets the problem of data segmentation of those stereo images. It proposes a set of algorithms to separate the foreground from the complicated changing background. Experiments show that the whole process is fast and efficient in reducing the data redundancy, and improves the overall performance for the further obstacle extraction.
