Method and system for transforming 2D image domain data into a 3D dense range map

摘要

A method for transforming two-dimensional image data into a 3D dense range map may include the steps of acquiring at least one image frame from an image sensor, selecting at least one region of interest within the image frame, determining the geo-location of three or more reference points within each selected region of interest, and transforming 2D image domain data from each selected region of interest into a 3D dense range map containing physical features of one or more objects within the image frame. An illustrative video surveillance system includes an image sensor acquiring images from at least one region of interest, a graphical user interface displaying images and a processor determining the geo-location of one ore more objects and transforming two-dimensional image data into a 3D range map containing physical features of said objects.
