Camera Motion Estimation Using Particle Filters
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a novel algorithm for estimating the parametric form of the camera motion is proposed. A novel stochastic vector field model is presented which can handle smooth motion patterns derived from long periods of stable camera movement and also can cope with rapid motion changes and periods where camera remains still. A set of rules for robust and online updating of the model parameters is also proposed, based on the Expectation Maximization algorithm. Finally, we fit this model in a particle filters framework, in order to predict the future camera motion based on current and prior knowledge. Camera Motion Estimation, Vector Field Model, Particle Filtering, Expectation Maximization Algorithm.

Particle Filter-based Pose Estimation from Controlled Motion with Application to Visual Servoing
In this paper, we present a Bayesian algorithm based on particle filters to estimate the camera pose for vision-based control. The state model is represented as a relative camera pose between the current and initial camera frames. The particles in the prior motion model are drawn using the velocity control signal collected from the visual controller of the robot. The pose samples are evaluated ...
متن کاملSpectral Estimation of Printed Colors Using a Scanner, Conventional Color Filters and applying backpropagation Neural Network
Reconstruction the spectral data of color samples using conventional color devices such as a digital camera or scanner is always of interest. Nowadays, multispectral imaging has introduced a feasible method to estimate the spectral reflectance of the images utilizing more than three-channel imaging. The goal of this study is to spectrally characterize a color scanner using a set of conventional...
متن کاملConsistency Checks for Particle Filters with Application to Image Stabilization
An ‘inconsistent’ particle filter produces – in a statistical sense – larger estimation errors than predicted by the model on which the filter is based. Inconsistent behavior of a particle filter can be detected online by checking whether the predicted measurements (derived from the particles that represent the one-step-ahead prediction pdf) comply in a statistical sense with the observed measu...
متن کاملReal-Time Vehicle Ego-Motion Using Stereo Pairs and Particle Filters
This paper presents a direct and stochastic technique for real time estimation of on board camera position and orientation—the ego-motion problem. An on board stereo vision system is used. Unlike existing works, which rely on feature extraction either in the image domain or in 3D space, our proposed approach directly estimates the unknown parameters from the brightness of a stream of stereo pai...
متن کاملGeometric particle swarm optimization for robust visual ego-motion estimation via particle filtering
Conventional particle filtering-based visual ego-motion estimation often suffers from large local linearization errors in the case of abrupt camera motion. The main contribution of this paper is to present a novel particle filteringbased visual ego-motion estimation algorithm that is especially robust to the abrupt camera motion. The robustness to the abrupt camera motion is achieved by multi-l...
