Epipolar Geometry in Polycentric Panoramas
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a new class of panoramic images, called polycentric panoramic images, which is a generalization from more specific classes such as single-center, multiple-center, or concentric panoramic images. This paper focuses on the derivation of an epipolar curve equation for polycentric panoramic images. The epipolar curve equation derived provides a unified approach for the epipolar geometry in any of the more specific classes of panoramic images. 1 The University of Auckland, Tamaki Campus, Centre for Image Technology and Robotics, Computer Vision Unit, Auckland, New Zealand Epipolar Geometry in Polycentric Panoramas Fay Huang, Shou Kang Wei, and Reinhard Klette CITR, Computer Science Department, The University of Auckland Tamaki Campus, Auckland, New Zealand

Geometrical Fundamentals of Polycentric Panoramas
This paper proposes polycentric panoramas as a general model of panoramic images. The model formalizes essential characteristics of panoramic geometry. It is able to describe a wide range of panoramic images, including those potentially of future interest, or previously introduced such as single-center, multi-perspective, or concentric panoramas [1, 5, 13, 16]. This paper presents geometrical f...
متن کاملConcentric Panorama Geometry
In this paper, the geometric relationship between mosaic images for concentric panorama acquired by slit cameras along circular paths is considered. A concentric epipolar constraint is derived for mosaic images. It is shown how the concentric epipolar constraint can be used to calibrate the slit camera using point correspondences in two mosaic images. The concentric epipolar constraint is furth...
متن کاملMatching Spherical Panoramas and Planar Photographs
Image matching and the epipolar geometry for a stereo pair has been a well-studied topic in the eld of computer vision. There is a strong foundation for matching techniques between two planar images, and the case of two spherical panoramas has been more recently explored. This work establishes the geometry for a pair consisting of one planar image and one spherical panorama, while exploring mat...
متن کاملDense 3D Point Cloud Generation from Multiple High-resolution Spherical Images
The generation of virtual models of cultural heritage assets is of high interest for documentation, restoration, development and promotion purposes. To this aim, non-invasive, easy and automatic techniques are required. We present a technology that automatically reconstructs large scale scenes from panoramic, high-resolution, spherical images. The advantage of the spherical panoramas is that th...
متن کاملComputing Visibility for Triangulated Panoramas
A visibility algorithm for triangulated panoramas is proposed. The algorithm can correctly resolve the visibility without making use of any depth information. It is especially useful when depth information is not available, such as in the case of real-world photographs. Based on the optical flow information and the image intensity, the panorama is subdivided into variable-sized triangles, image...
