Optimal Motion Estimation from Multiview Normalized Epipolar Constraint
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we study the structure from motion problem as a constrained nonlinear least squares problem which minimizes the so called reprojection error subject to all constraints among multiple images. By converting this constrained optimization problem to an unconstrained one, we obtain a multiview version of the normalized epipolar constraint of two views. Such a multiview normalized epipolar constraint serves as a statistically optimal objective function for motion (and structure) estimation. Since such a function is defined naturally on a product of Stiefel manifolds, we show how to use geometric optimization techniques to minimize it. We present experimental results on real images to evaluate the proposed algorithm.

Optimal Motion Estimation from Multiple Images by Normalized Epipolar Constraint
In this paper, we study the structure from motion problem as a constrained nonlinear least squares problem which minimizes the so called reprojection error subject to all constraints among multiple images. By converting this constrained optimization problem to an unconstrained one, we contend that multilinear constraints, when used for motion and structure estimation, need to be properly normal...
متن کاملMotion Vector Field Estimation Using Brightness Constancy Assumption and Epipolar Geometry Constraint
In most photogrammetry and computer vision tasks, it is required to find the corresponding points among the images. Among many, Lucas/Kanade optical flow estimation has been employed for tracking interest points as well as motion vector field estimation. This paper uses the IMU measurements to reconstruct the epipolar geometry and it integrates the epipolar geometry constraint with the brightne...

متن کاملStructure and Motion from Two Uncalibrated Views Using Points on Planes
This paper is about the problem of structure and motion recovery from two views of a rigid scene. Especially, we deal with the case of scenes containing planes, i.e. there are sets of coplanar points. Coplanarity is a strong constraint for both structure recovery and motion estimation. Most existing works do only exploit one of the two aspects, or, if both, then in a sub-optimal manner. A typic...
متن کاملAn Effective Epipolar Geometry Assisted Motion-estimation Technique for Multi-view Image Coding
To effectively encode data-intensive, multi-view imaging content, H.264/AVC as a state-of-the-art coding standard is often adopted for its superior coding efficiency. However, an H.264 encoder is very complex because of the many advanced but computationally complicated schemes it employs in achieving a high-coding performance. The most time-consuming component is variable block-size motion esti...
