Direct Pose Estimation with a Monocular Camera
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a direct method to calculate a 6DoF pose change of a monocular camera for mobile navigation. The calculated pose is estimated up to a constant unknown scale parameter that is kept constant over the entire reconstruction process. This method allows a direct calculation of the metric position and rotation without any necessity to fuse the information in a probabilistic approach over longer frame sequence as it is the case in most currently used VSLAM approaches. The algorithm provides two novel aspects to the field of monocular navigation. It allows a direct pose estimation without any a-priori knowledge about the world directly from any two images and it provides a quality measure for the estimated motion parameters that allows to fuse the resulting information in Kalman Filters. We present the mathematical formulation of the approach together with experimental validation on real scene images.

A novel approach is presented for real-time pose estimation of a known object being observed through a single camera. The future aim is to develop the method outlined here into a robust closed-form solution suitable for implementation on a monocular face tracking system. However, the method outlined in this paper offers a generic 2D to 3D pose estimation technique which is not limited to face t...

In this paper, we describe a method for estimating 3d pose of a human head from a 2d monocular web-cam image. We propose a novel system based on existing computer vision techniques for real-time head pose estimation, which can start and recover from failure automatically without any previous knowledge of the user’s appearance or location and keeping the user free of any devices or wires. The sy...
متن کاملEstimating Human Dynamics On-the-fly Using Monocular Video For Pose Estimation
Human pose estimation using uncalibrated monocular visual inputs alone is a challenging problem for both the computer vision and robotics communities. From the robotics perspective, the challenge here is one of pose estimation of a multiply-articulated system of bodies using a single nonspecialized environmental sensor (the camera) and thereby, creating low-order surrogate computational models ...
