Recovery of Epipolar Geometry as a Manifold Fitting Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
The introduction of the joint image manifold allows to treat the problem of recovering camera motion and epipolar geometry as the problem of fitting a manifold to the data measured in a stereo pair. The manifold has a singularity and boundary, therefore care must be taken when fitting it. This paper reviews the notion of joint image manifold, and how previous motion recovery methods can be viewed in its context, and then offers a new fitting method, which improves upon previous results, especially when the extent of the data and/or the motion are small.

Simultaneous shape and motion recovery: geometry, optimal estimation, and coordinate descent algorithms
AbsIractWith few exceptions, most previous approaches to the structure from motion problem have been based on a decoupling between shape and motion recovery, usually via discrete or differential versions of the epipolar constraint. This paper offers a differential geometric framework for the simultaneous shape and motion recovery problem. We fin1 pose the simultaneous shape and motion recovery ...
متن کاملMotion Estimation in Computer Vision: Optimization on Stiefel Manifolds
Motion recovery from image correspondences is typically a problem of optimizing an objective function associated with the epipolar (or LonguetHiggins) constraint. This objective function is defined on the so called essential manifold. In this paper, the intrinsic Riemannian structure of the essential manifold is thoroughly studied. Based on existing optimization techniques on Riemannian manifol...
متن کاملRecovery of Circular Motion from Profiles of Surfaces
This paper addresses the problem of motion recovery from image profiles, in the important case of turntable sequences. No correspondences between points or lines are used. Symmetry properties of surfaces of revolution are exploited to obtain, in a robust and simple way, the image of the rotation axis of the sequence and the homography relating epipolar lines. These, together with geometric cons...
متن کاملVision Theory in Spaces of Constant Curvature
In this paper, vision theory for Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic spaces is studied in a uniform framework using diierential geometry in spaces of constant curvature. It is shown that the epipolar geometry for Euclidean space can be naturally generalized to the spaces of constant curvature. In particular, it is shown that, in the general case, the bilinear epipolar constraint is exactly the ...
متن کاملA unified framework for motion estimation from image sequences by compensating for the image-motion of a point, a line or a plane
This paper analyzes the geometry of the visual motion estimation problem in relation to transformations of the input (images) that stabilize particular output functions such as the motion of a point, a line and a plane in the image. By casting the problem within the popular "epipolar geometry", we provide a common framework for including constraints such as point, line of plane fixation by just...
