Estimating Motors from a Variety of Geometric Data in 3D Conformal Geometric Algebra
نویسندگان
چکیده
The motion rotors, or motors, are used to model Euclidean motion in 3D conformal geometric algebra. In this chapter we present a technique for estimating the motor which best transforms one set of noisy geometric objects onto another. The technique reduces to an eigenrotator problem and has some advantages over matrix formulations. It allows motors to be estimated from a variety of geometric data such as points, spheres, circles, lines, planes, directions, and tangents; and the different types of geometric data are combined naturally in a single framework. Also, it excludes the possibility of a reflection unlike some matrix formulations. It returns the motor with the smallest translation and rotation angle when the optimal motor is not unique.

Perspective Pose Estimation with Geometric Algebra
A novel method which entirely resides inside conformal geometric algebra (CGA) is presented estimating the pose of a camera from one image of a known object. At first, subproblems covering only three feature points are solved and globally assessed. The object model is accordingly pruned and rigidly fitted to corresponding projection rays by evaluating a succinct CGA expression which emerged fro...

متن کاملTarget Calibration and Tracking Using Conformal Geometric Algebra
This paper is about real-time refinement of the 3D positions of a large number of stationary point-targets from a sequence of 2D images which are taken by a hand-held, calibrated camera group. To cope with the large data quantity arriving rapidly, an efficient iterative algorithm was developed. The problem and solution are expressed entirely within the computational framework of conformal geome...
متن کامل3D Rotation Estimation from Catadioptric Lines without Correspondences using the Radon Transform, Harmonic Analysis and Conformal Geometric Algebra
Omnidirectional vision systems provide a large field of view, this property can benefit algorithms developed to solve robotic tasks. One interesting problem is the estimation of the rotation between omnidirectional images. Since the images taken by omnidirectional sensors can be mapped to a sphere, the problem of attitude estimation of a 3D camera rotation can be treated as a problem of estimat...
