  Abstract

In this paper, a new stereo object extraction algorithm using a block-based SSD(sum of squard difference) algorithm and the configuration parameters of a stereo camera is proposed. That is, by applying the SSD algorithm between the initial reference image and the next stereo inpu image, location coordinates of a target object in the right and left images are acquired and then with these values, the pan/tilt system is controlled. And using the moving angle of this pan/tilt system and the configulation parameters of the stereo camera system, the mask windows size of a target object is adaptively determined. The newly segmented target image is used as a reference image in the next stage and it is automatically updated in the course of target tracking basing on the same procedure. Meanwhile, a target object is under tracking through continuously controlling the convergence and FOV by using the sequentiall extracted location coordinates of a moving target.
From some experimental results using 30 frames of the sequential stereo input images, it is analyzed that the disparity between the segmented object images in the right and left images is kept to be very low to 1.3 pixels and 0.3 pixels on average in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. These good experiments finally suggest a possibility of implementation of a new practical stereo object tracking systetem by using the proposed algorithm.
