چکیده

This research report presents a bundle adjustment technique which is independent on camera intrinsic parameters. Standard bundle adjustment techniques consider camera intrinsic parameters as unknowns in the optimization process. The scheme proposed in this report di ers from previous standard techniques since unknown camera intrinsic parameters are computed as a function of the 3D structure and the camera pose. Considering less unknowns in the optimization process produces a faster algorithm which is more adapted to real-time applications. Computationally expensive metric reconstruction, using for example several zooming cameras, considerably bene ts from an intrinsics-free bundle adjustment. Indeed, experimental results, obtained using both simulated data and real images, show that the algorithm we propose not only considerably reduces the computational cost but also improves the accuracy of the metric reconstruction. Key-words: structure from motion, Euclidean reconstruction, bundle adjustment, projective invariance.

Les techniques standards d'ajustement de faisceaux considèrent ces paramètres comme des inconnues dans le processus d'optimisation. Le principe proposé dans ce rapport est di érent. En e et, les paramètres intrinsèques des caméras sont calculés à partir de la structure 3D et la position des caméras. Un nombre inférieur d'inconnues est alors impliqué dans le processus d'estimation, lequel converge alors plus rapidement. Les reconstructions métriques coûteuses, par exemple à partir de plusieurs caméras à zoom variable, tirent un béné ce non négligeable de cet ajustement de faisceaux indépendant des données de calibrage. En e et, les résultats expérimentaux sur données simulées et réelles montrent qu'une réduction notable du temps de calcul ainsi qu'une légère amélioration de la précision de la reconstruction métrique sont ls obtenues. Mots-clés : invariance projective, ajustement de faisceaux, reconstruction métrique. Euclidean Bundle Adjustment Independent on Camera Intrinsic Parameters 3

Minimal Conditions on Intrinsic Parameters for Euclidean Reconstruction

In this paper will be investigated what constraints on the intrinsic parameters that are needed in order to reconstruct an unknown scene from a number of its projective images. Two such minimal cases are studied in detail. Firstly, it is shown that it is sufficient to know the skew parameter, even if all other parameters are unknown and varying, to obtain a Euclidean reconstruction. Secondly, t...

Auto-Calibration from the Orthogonality Constraints

This paper describes an iterative algorithm for making Euclidean reconstruction of a scenefi-om an image sequence captured by a camera with zero skew. The output consists of both the Euclidean reconstruction and the intrinsic parameters of the camera at the different imaging instants, i.e. it also provides a camera calibration. The problem is solved in two different steps. Firstly, the projecti...

A Scheme for Combining Auto-calibration and Scene Constraints

A scheme for combining auto-calibration and scene constraints in the “structure-from-motion” problem is proposed. This scheme focuses on the recovery of the absolute quadric using auto-calibration while imposing orthogonal scene plane constraints. First, an initial estimate of the absolute quadric is obtained using a linear method. A nonlinear constrained optimization step is then applied to re...

Bundle adjustment: a fast method with weak initialisation

Bundle adjustment is one of the cornerstone to recover the scene structure from a sequence of images. The main drawback of this technique, due to nonlinear optimisation, is the need of initial conditions for intrinsic and extrinsic camera parameters and for the 3D structure that we want to reconstruct. In this paper, we demonstrate that we can reduce, comparatively to the standard approach, the...

Estimating parameters of noncentral catadioptric systems using bundle adjustment

This paper describes a new method to calibrate the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of a generalized catadioptric camera (central or non-central) if correspondences between incident lines in space and pixels are provided (black box model calibration) in an arbitrary world reference frame. The parameters calibrated are the intrinsic parameters of the pinhole camera, the coefficients of the mir...
