Robust Recovery of Ego-Motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abs t rac t . A robust method is introduced for computing the camera motion (the ego-motion) in a static scene. The method is based on detecting a single planar surface in the scene directly from image intensities, and computing its 2D motion in the image plane. The detected 2D motion of the planar surface is used to register the images, so that the planar surface appears stationary. The resulting displacement field for the entire scene in such registered frames is affected only by the 3D translation of the camera, which is computed by finding the focus-of-expansion in the registered frames. This step is followed by computing the 3D rotation to complete the computation of the ego-motion. This 3D motion computation is based on a motion computation scheme which handles the difficult case when multiple image motions are present. This multiple motion analysis is performed together with object segmentation by using a temporal integration approach.

Three-dimensional ego-motion estimation from motion fields observed with multiple cameras
In this paper, we present a robust method to estimate the three-dimensional ego-motion of an observer moving in a static environment. This method combines the optical ow elds observed with multiple cameras to avoid the ambiguity of 3-D motion recovery due to small eld of view and small depth variation in the eld of view. Two residual functions are proposed to estimate the ego-motion for diieren...
متن کاملTransforming Camera Geometry to A Virtual Downward-Looking Camera: Robust Ego-Motion Estimation and Ground-Layer Detection
This paper presents a robust method to solve the two coupled problems: ground layer detection and vehicle egomotion estimation, which appear in visual navigation. We virtually rotate the camera to the downward-looking pose in order to exploit the fact that the vehicle motion is roughly constrained to be planar motion on the ground. This camera geometry transformation, together with planar motio...
متن کاملGeometric particle swarm optimization for robust visual ego-motion estimation via particle filtering
Conventional particle filtering-based visual ego-motion estimation often suffers from large local linearization errors in the case of abrupt camera motion. The main contribution of this paper is to present a novel particle filteringbased visual ego-motion estimation algorithm that is especially robust to the abrupt camera motion. The robustness to the abrupt camera motion is achieved by multi-l...
متن کاملRecovery of Ego-Motion Using Region Alignment
A method for computing the 3D camera motion (the egomotion) in a static scene is described, where initially a detected 2D motion between two frames is used to align corresponding image regions. We prove that such a 2D registration removes all effects of camera rotation, even for those image regions that remain misaligned. The resulting residual parallax displacement field between the two region...
