Image Parsing by Fuzzy Inference using Multi-Resolusion Representation of Streetscape Image

Abstract

Recently, the use of three dimension map is increasing due to spreads of the car navigation system and the streetscape simulation, etc. A lot of processes of the hand work, however, are included in making such 3D map under the present situation, and it is a current state to require a large labor. Therefore, these processes are automated, and the system for making the 3D map efficiently is expected. In this study, we propose a method for parsing the streetscape image as a preprocessing to make the 3D map by stereo method. In this report, a hierarchical method that uses an image pyramid and a fuzzy inference is proposed and is applied to the streetscape image. As a result of experiment, we confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method as compared with an ordinal method.
