چکیده

This paper describes the mathematical basis and application of a probabilistic model for recovering the direction of camera translation (heading) from optical flow. According to the theorem that heading cannot lie between two converging points in a stationary environment, one can compute the posterior probability distribution of heading across the image and choose the heading with maximum a posteriori (MAP). The model requires very simple computation, provides confidence level of the judgments, applies to both linear and curved trajectories, functions in the presence of camera rotations, and exhibited high accuracy up to 0.1◦–0.2◦ in random dot simulations. c © 1999 Academic Press

Character Reconstruction and Animation from Monocular Sequence of Images

In this paper we present different methods for the calibration and orientation of monocular image sequences and the 3D reconstruction of human characters. Three different situations are considered: a static character imaged with a moving camera, a moving character imaged with a fix camera and a moving character imaged with a moving camera. A self-acquired sequence is used in the first case whil...

Camera Pose Estimation by Alignment from a Single Mountain Image

We present an alignment-based method for recovering camera position and orientation parameters from a single mountain image and digital elevation map. Camera pose estimation is achieved even without any initial position or orientation parameter estimate and requires only that the camera height above ground be known beforehand. It is also robust to partial occlusion. Using mountain peaks as feat...

Recovering Light Directions and Camera Poses from a Single Sphere

This paper introduces a novel method for recovering both the light directions and camera poses from a single sphere. Traditional methods for estimating light directions using spheres either assume both the radius and center of the sphere being known precisely, or they depend on multiple calibrated views to recover these parameters. It will be shown in this paper that the light directions can be...

Models of real-world objects and actions for use in graphics, virtual and augmented reality and related fields can only be obtained through the use of visual data and particularly video. This paper examines the question of recovering shape models from video information. Given video of an object or a scene captured by a moving camera, a prerequisite for model building is to recover the three-dim...
