Abstract

This paper proposes a method to get depth information from image sequences obtained from a moving fish-eye camera. The motion is assumed to be along the optical axis of the fish-eye camera. In this case, a point on a fish-eye image moves to radial direction. This is one of the epipolar constraints that are very effective to find corresponding points in an image sequences. Epipolar-plane image (EPI) is an image having epipolar constraint in a volume of accumulating an image sequence. The gradient of a curve on EPI has depth information of the corresponding measuring point. Measurement accuracy of the proposed method is examined over a wide-angle range.
