Handling occlusion with an inexpensive array of cameras

The topic of computer vision is of interest due to its ability to provide a great deal of information about the physical world. One problem that plagues many vision applications is that of occlusion. Occlusion is the situation where the view of an object is being blocked by one or more other objects. In this work, a multi-view approach was taken to solve the problem. The tool used was a low-cost array of cameras that was designed and built in house. Results of the project are reviewed and it is shown that the algorithm used has the potential to recover many details that would otherwise be lost due to occlusion.
