FNS, CFNS and HEIV: Extending Three Vision Parameter Estimation Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Estimation of parameters from image tokens is a central problem in computer vision. FNS, CFNS and HEIV are three recently developed methods for solving special but important cases of this problem. The schemes are means for finding unconstrained (FNS, HEIV) and constrained (CFNS) minimisers of cost functions. In earlier work of the authors, FNS, CFNS and a version of HEIV were applied to a specific cost function. Here we outline an extension of the approach to more general cost functions. This allows the FNS, CFNS and HEIV methods to be placed within a common framework.

Extended FNS for Constrained Parameter Estimation
We present a new method, called “EFNS” (“extended FNS”), for linearizable constrained maximum likelihood estimation. This complements the CFNS of Chojnacki et al. and is a true extension of the FNS of Chojnacki et al. to an arbitrary number of intrinsic constraints. Computing the fundamental matrix as an illustration, we demonstrate that CFNS does not necessarily converge to a correct solution,...
متن کاملFNS and HEIV: relating two vision parameter estimation frameworks
Problems requiring accurate determination of parameters from image-based quantities arise often in computer vision. Two recent, independently developed frameworks for estimating such parameters are the FNS andHEIV schemes. Here it is shown that FNS and a core version of HEIV are essentially equivalent, solving a common underlying equation via different means. The analysis is driven by the searc...
متن کاملA constrained parameter estimation approach for some vision problems
Previous work of the authors developed a theoretically well-founded scheme (FNS) for finding the minimiser of a class of cost functions. Various problems in video analysis, stereo vision, ellipse-fitting, etc, may be expressed in terms of finding such a minimiser. However, in common with many other approaches, it is necessary to correct the minimiser as a post-process if an ancillary constraint...

متن کاملHigh Accuracy Fundamental Matrix Computation and Its Performance Evaluation
We compare the convergence performance of different numerical schemes for computing the fundamental matrix from point correspondences over two images. First, we state the problem and the associated KCR lower bound. Then, we describe the algorithms of three well-known methods: FNS, HEIV, and renormalization, to which we add Gauss-Newton iterations. For initial values, we test random choice, leas...
