Line Matching across Catadioptric Images under Short-Baseline Motion

Line matching across catadioptric images using line intersections with focus on short baseline motion of the imaging system is proposed. The relationship between images of constructing lines of an intersection on unitary sphere is studied and angle consistency and antipodal consistency are introduced as two useful properties which can be employed to nd putative intersections correspondence and remove the outliers. The necessary equations for adapting boundary of a rectangular patch to the geometry of the catadioptric images are also derived and a standard correlation is used for measuring similarities of the intersections. Experimental results on both synthetic and real images are also presented.
