Reconstruction and Motion Estimation from Apparent Contours under Circular Motion

چکیده
In this paper we address the problem of recovering structure and motion from the contours of a smooth-curved surface. A novel and simpler technique for computing the structure of an object from its profiles is introduced. Experiments with real data show encouraging results, which are comparable to those obtained from much more sophisticated techniques. Furthermore, a new method for motion estimation from sequences of profiles is proposed. Preliminary results demonstrate the feasibility of the algorithm.

Structure and motion estimation from apparent contours under circular motion
In this paper we address the problem of recovering structure and motion from the apparent contours of a smooth surface. Fixed image features under circular motion and their relationships with the intrinsic parameters of the camera are exploited to provide a simple parameterization of the fundamental matrix relating any pair of views in the sequence. Such a parameterization allows a trivial init...
متن کاملEstimation of Epipolar Geometry from Apparent Contours: Affine and Circular Motion Cases
This paper addresses the problem of estimating the epipolar geometry from apparent contours in two special cases: under weak perspective and for circular motion. An appropriate parametrization of the fundamental matrix is introduced for both cases, as well as suitable cost functions for the estimation of the epipoles. The algorithm used in the affine approximation proved to be robust and accura...
متن کاملEpipolar Geometry from Profiles under Circular Motion
ÐThis paper addresses the problem of motion estimation from profiles (also known as apparent contours) of an object rotating on a turntable in front of a single camera. Its main contribution is the development of a practical and accurate technique for solving this problem from profiles alone, which is precise enough to allow for the reconstruction of the shape of the object. No correspondences ...
متن کاملShape from Profiles
Profiles of a sculpture provide rich information about its geometry, and can be used for model reconstruction under known camera motion. By exploiting correspondences induced by epipolar tangents on the profiles, a successful solution to motion estimation has been developed for the case of circular motion. Arbitrary general views can then be incorporated to refine the model built from circular ...
