Keyframe Selection for Camera Motion and Structure Estimation from Multiple Views
نویسندگان
چکیده
Estimation of camera motion and structure of rigid objects in the 3D world from multiple camera images by bundle adjustment is often performed by iterative minimization methods due to their low computational effort. These methods need a robust initialization in order to converge to the global minimum. In this paper a new criterion for keyframe selection is presented. While state of the art criteria just avoid degenerated camera motion configurations, the proposed criterion selects the keyframe pairing with the lowest expected estimation error of initial camera motion and object structure. The presented results show, that the convergence probability of bundle adjustment is significantly improved with the new criterion compared to the state of the art approaches.

Keyframe selection for robust pose estimation in laparoscopic videos
Motion estimation based on point correspondences in two views is a classic problem in computer vision. In the field of laparoscopic video sequences even with state of the art algorithms a stable motion estimation can not be guaranteed generally. Typically, a video from a laparoscopic surgery contains sequences where the surgeon barely moves the endoscope. Such restricted movement causes a small...
متن کاملReduced egomotion estimation drift using omnidirectional views
Estimation of camera motion from a given image sequence is a common task for multi-view 3D computer vision applications. Salient features (lines, corners etc.) in the images are used to estimate the motion of the camera, also called egomotion. This estimation suffers from an error built-up as the length of the image sequence increases and this causes a drift in the estimated position. In this l...
متن کاملMotion capture data retrieval using an artist's doll
In this paper, we present a keyframe-based human motion capture data retrieval system which uses a wooden doll as the input device. A user inputs a keyframe by posing an artist’s doll with painted joints in front of a stereo camera rig. The system interactively gives real-time feedback on the results of the joint detection and 3D pose reconstruction as the user is positioning and rotating the d...
متن کاملDistributed Pose Estimation from Multiple Views
A method is introduced to track the object’s motion and estimate its pose from multiple cameras. We focus on direct estimation of the 3D pose from 2D image sequences. We derive a distributed solution that is equivalent to the centralized pose estimation from multiple cameras. Moreover, we show that, by using a proper rotation between each camera and a fixed camera view, we can rely on independe...
متن کاملAutomatic reconstruction of stationary 3-D objects from multiple uncalibrated camera views
A system for the automatic reconstruction of real-world objects from multiple uncalibrated camera views is presented. The camera position and orientation for all views, the 3-D shape of the rigid object, as well as the associated color information, are recovered from the image sequence. The system proceeds in four steps. First, the internal camera parameters describing the imaging geometry are ...
