Resolvability of Visual-Inertial Structure from Motion in Closed-form

چکیده
This paper investigates the visual-inertial structure from motion problem. A simple closed form solution to this problem is introduced. Special attention is devoted to identify the conditions under which the problem has a finite number of solutions. Specifically, it is shown that the problem can have a unique solution, two distinct solutions and infinite solutions depending on the trajectory, on the number of point-features and on their layout and on the number of camera images. The investigation is also performed in the case when the inertial data are biased, showing that, in this latter case, more images and more restrictive conditions on the trajectory are required for the problem resolvability.

Une attention particulière est consacrée à identifier les conditions dans lesquelles le problème a un nombre fini de solutions. Plus précisément, il est montré que, en fonction de la trajectoire, du nombre de points et du nombre d’images de caméra, le problème peut avoir une solution unique, deux solutions distinctes et infinies solutions. L’analyse est également effectuée dans le cas où les données inertielles sont biaisées, montrant que, dans ce dernier cas, plus d’images et des conditions plus restrictives sur la trajectoire sont nécessaires pour la résolvabilité du problème.

متن کاملThe resolvability ellipsoid for visual servoing
This paper introduces a sensor placement measure called resolvability. The measure provides a technique for estimating the relative ability of various visual sensors, including monocular systems, stereo pairs, multi-baseline stereo systems, and 3D rangefinders, to accurately control visually manipulated objects. The resolvability ellipsoid illustrates the directional nature of resolvability, an...
