Ray Divergence-Based Bundle Adjustment Conditioning for Multi-view Stereo
نویسندگان
چکیده
An algorithm that shows how ray divergence in multi-view stereo scene reconstruction can be used towards improving bundle adjustment weighting and conditioning is presented. Starting with a set of feature tracks, ray divergence when attempting to compute scene structure for each track is first obtained. Assuming accurate feature matching, ray divergence reveals mainly camera parameter estimation inaccuracies. Due to its smooth variation across neighboring feature tracks, from its histogram a set of weights can be computed that can be used in bundle adjustment to improve its convergence properties. It is proven that this novel weighting scheme results in lower reprojection errors and faster processing times than others such as image feature covariances, making it very suitable in general for applications involving multi-view pose and structure estimation.

Bundle Adjustment for Multi-camera Systems with Points at Infinity
We present a novel approach for a rigorous bundle adjustment for omnidirectional and multi-view cameras, which enables an efficient maximum-likelihood estimation with image and scene points at infinity. Multi-camera systems are used to increase the resolution, to combine cameras with different spectral sensitivities (Z/I DMC, Vexcel Ultracam) or – like omnidirectional cameras – to augment the e...

For large-scale and highly redundant photo collections, eliminating statistical redundancy in multi-view geometry is of great importance to efficient 3D reconstruction. Our approach takes the full set of images with initial calibration and recovered sparse 3D points as inputs, and obtains a subset of views that preserve the final reconstruction accuracy and completeness well. We first construct...
