Power Lines Detection from a Stereo Vision System

A novel algorithm for distance measurement using stereo camera

“…Indeed, systems based on vision for measurement can be automated so that they provide accurate measurements and systematic errors can be handled efficiently [6]. With the advancement of technology, stereo vision systems have been widely used in many fields of study such as obstacle detection [7,8], 3D reconstruction [9,10], medical imaging [11,12], film industry, outdoor applications [13,14], and object recognition since it can perform specific measurement tasks on its own. The stereo vision system does not require complicated additional equipment; it is able to identify the structure and motion parameters of the target in motion using the information provided by the two cameras.…”
