Evidential modeling for pose estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pose estimation involves reconstructing the configuration of a moving body from images sequences. In this paper we present a general framework for pose estimation of unknown objects based on Shafer’s evidential reasoning. During learning an evidential model of the object is built, integrating different image features to improve both estimation robustness and precision. All the measurements coming from one or more views are expressed as belief functions, and combined through Dempster’s rule. The best pose estimate at each time step is then extracted from the resulting belief function by probabilistic approximation. The choice of a sufficiently dense training set is a critical problem. Experimental results concerning a human tracking system are shown.

Learning evidential models for example-based object pose estimation
Pose estimation concerns the reconstruction of the pose of a moving object from a sequence of images shot during its motion. When having no models or any a-priori information about the nature of the body, inference on the object’s pose requires building a map between image measurements (features) and poses. In this paper we present a method for pose estimation based on the evidential reasoning,...

متن کاملCamera Pose Estimation in Unknown Environments using a Sequence of Wide-Baseline Monocular Images
In this paper, a feature-based technique for the camera pose estimation in a sequence of wide-baseline images has been proposed. Camera pose estimation is an important issue in many computer vision and robotics applications, such as, augmented reality and visual SLAM. The proposed method can track captured images taken by hand-held camera in room-sized workspaces with maximum scene depth of 3-4...
