Resumen
This research presents a novel methodology that combines stereo vision and parallel processing,
based on GPU and the use of binary descriptors, for fast High-Level Structures extraction. Typical
stereo algorithms require an image rectification stage that has to run on a frame-to-frame basis,
increasing the computational burden and with the possibility of compromising high frame rate
operation. Hence, it is proposed to use a semi-calibrated stereo approach, meaning that only
calibration of extrinsic parameters of the stereo rig is carried out, thus avoiding a rectification
process of the frames captured by the stereo camera. For the latter, the proposed approach relies on
feature matching of salient points detected on the stereo images, from which image correspondences
are obtained. These correspondences are triangulated to generate a point cloud that is passed to a
plane fitting module. As feature matching is a cumbersome task, this study presents a novel GPU
architecture to accelerate such process, thus achieving a real-time performance of up to 50 fps for
the whole process. To demonstrate our approach, we also present an augmented reality application
that exploits the planes extracted with our approach.
