چکیده

Structure from Motion (SfM) algorithms take as input multiview stereo images (along with internal calibration information) and yield a 3D point cloud and camera orientations/poses in a common 3D coordinate system. In the case of an incremental SfM pipeline, the process requires repeated model estimations based on detected feature points: homography, fundamental and essential matrices, as well as camera poses. These estimations have a crucial impact on the quality of 3D reconstruction. We propose to improve these estimations using the a contrario methodology. While SfM pipelines usually have globallyxed thresholds for model estimation, the a contrario principle adapts thresholds to the input data and for each model estimation. Our experiments show that adaptive thresholds reach a signi cantly better precision. Additionally, the user is free from having to guess thresholds or to optimistically rely on default values. There are also cases where a globallyxed threshold policy, whatever the threshold value is, cannot provide the best accuracy, contrary to an adaptive threshold policy.

New adaptive interpolation schemes for efficient meshbased motion estimation

Motion estimation and compensation is an essential part of existing video coding systems. The mesh-based motion estimation (MME) produces smoother motion field, better subjective quality (free from blocking artifacts), and higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) in many cases, especially at low bitrate video communications, compared to the conventional block matching algorithm (BMA). Howev...

Vehicle Stabilization via a Self-Tuning Optimal Controller

Nowadays, using advanced vehicle control and safety systems in vehicles is growing rapidly. In this regard, in recent years new control systems, called VDC, have been introduced. These systems stabilize vehicle yaw motion, by yaw moment resulted from tire controlling forces. In this paper, an adaptive optimal controller applied to a vehicle to obtain a satisfactory lateral and yaw stability. To...

Adaptive search area for fast motion estimation

In this paper a new method for determining the search area for motion estimation algorithm based on block matching is suggested. In the proposed method the search area is adaptively found for each block of a frame. This search area is similar to that of the full search (FS) algorithm but smaller for most blocks of a frame. Therefore, the proposed algorithm is analogous to FS in terms of reg...

An A Contrario Model for Matching Interest Points under Geometric and Photometric Constraints

Finding point correspondences between two views is generally based on the matching of local photometric descriptors. A subsequent geometric constraint ensures that the set of matching points is consistent with a realistic camera motion. Starting from a paper by Moisan and Stival, we propose an a contrario model for matching interest points based on descriptor similarity and geometric constraint...

Robust and Accurate Line- and/or Point-Based Pose Estimation without Manhattan Assumptions

Usual Structure from Motion techniques based on feature points have a hard time on scenes with little texture or presenting a single plane, as in indoor environments. Line segments are more robust features in this case. We propose a novel geometrical criterion for two-view pose estimation using lines, that does not assume a Manhattan world. We also define a parameterless (a contrario) RANSAC-li...
