DPM-1000: Dynamic projection mapping system using high-speed color projector and high-speed vision chip

Summary

We propose a novel method for detecting features on normal maps and describing features, called RIFNOM and the binarized features, called BIFNOM, that are three-dimensionally rotation invariant and detects and matches interest points at high speed regardless of whether a target is textured or textureless and rigid or non-rigid. Conventional methods of detecting features on normal maps also can be applied to textureless targets, in contrast with features on luminance images; however, they cannot deal with three-dimensional rotation between each pair of corresponding interest points due to the definition of orientation, or they have difficulty in achieving fast detection and matching due to a heavy-weight descriptor. We addressed these issues by introducing a three dimensional local coordinate system as shown in Fig. 1 and converting a normal vector to a float/binary code, and achieved more than 750fps real-time feature detection and matching. Furthermore, we present an extended descriptor and criteria for real-time tracking, and evaluate the performance with both simulation and actual system as shown in Fig. 2.
