Reconfigurable hardware implementation of a phase-correlation stereoalgorithm

This paper describes the implementation of a stereo-vision system using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Reconfigurable hardware, including FPGAs, is an attractive platform for implementing vision algorithms due to its ability to exploit parallelism often found in these algorithms, and due to the speed with which applications can be developed as compared to hardware. The system outputs 8-bit, subpixel disparity estimates for 256× 360 pixel images at 30,fps. A local-weighted phase correlation algorithm for stereo disparity [Fleet, D. J.: {Int. Conf. Syst. Man Cybernetics 1:48–54 (1994)] is implemented. Despite the complexity of performing correlations on multiscale, multiorientation phase data, the system runs as much as 300 times faster in hardware than its software implementation. This paper describes the hardware platform used, the algorithm, and the issues encountered during its hardware implementation. Of particular interest is the implementation of multiscale, steerable filters, which are widely used in computer vision algorithms. Several trade-offs (reducing the number of filter orientations from three to two, using fixed-point computation, changing the location of one localized low-pass filter, and using L1 instead of L2 norms) were required to both fit the design into the available hardware and to achieve video-rate processing. Finally, results from the system are given both for synthetic data sets as well as several standard stereo-pair test images.

Non-equilibrium particle motion in the vicinity of a single blade

The motion of sand particles close to a single moving blade was investigated using Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT) during the period in which the free bed surface profile was evolving to an equilibrium shape. The area affected by the blade was divided into active and inactive regions and these were analysed separately. The characteristic heart-shape of the active region in the plan view was determined. An approximately 10-particle-diameter wide velocity transition zone is found between the two regions. While the tracer particle is in the inactive region moving away from the blade, the time dependence of the axial displacement is well described by a logarithmic relationship. The probability of particle movement towards the centre of the blade was quantified using a “central tendency” index. The calculated central tendency shows maxima at each side of the blade. The separation of the two maxima, which indicates the width of the active region, increases with fill level but is independent of rotational speed.

Outlier-resistant methods for estimation and model fitting

Least squares is perhaps the most widely used technique for model fitting. In this article, we illustrate the poor performance of least squares when there are spurious values, or outliers, in a sequence of measurements. A brief overview of three well-known classes of robust alternatives to the least-squares mean is presented. For robust regression, a recent proposal called least median squares (LMS) is decribed. LMS regression is compared to least-squares regression in an example involving the estimation of optical fiber geometry. References are provided for software that is available for robust estimation techniques surveyed in this article.

Neural networks for nonlinear state estimation

Estimating the state of a nonlinear stochastic system (observed through a nonlinear noisy measurement channel) has been the goal of considerable research to solve both filtering and control problems. In this paper, an original approach to the solution of the optimal state estimation problem by means of neural networks is proposed, which consists in constraining the state estimator to take on the structure of a multilayer feedforward network. Both non-recursive and recursive estimation schemes are considered, which enable one to reduce the original functional problem to a nonlinear programming one. As this reduction entails approximations for the optimal estimation strategy, quantitative results on the accuracy of such approximations are reported. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.
