A Note on Principal Point Estimability
نویسندگان
چکیده
We provide elementary geometric arguments to show that the principal point of cameras with small to moderate field of view cannot be reliably estimated from natural, noisy images (the problem is ill-posed). We also show that in robot navigation and other noisy geometric vision applications the exact location of the principal point is irrelevant in practice. In these cases satisfactory metric structure can be recovered from minimal information by efficient algorithms using simplified camera models.

Determination of Principal Permeabilities in Two-Dimensional Fissured Rocks Using Permeability Circle (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Among the many parameters affecting the design of hydraulic structures on fissured rocks are orientation of principal permeability axes and degree of anisotropy of fissured rocks. Geological explorations rarely provide this type of information. If at all the information is available, methods employed are computationally cumbersome and inefficient. A new concept of simple equations and geometric...
متن کاملNumerical Parameter Identifiability and Estimability: Integrating Identifiability, Estimability, and Optimal Sampling Design
We define two levels of parameters. The basic parameters are associated with the model and experiment(s). However, the observations define a set of identifiable observational parameters that are functions of the basic parameters. Starting with this formulation, we show that an implicit function approach provides a common basis for examining local identifiability and estimability and gives a lea...
متن کاملEstimability Tools for Package Developers
When a linear model is rank-deficient, then predictions based on that model become questionable because not all predictions are uniquely estimable. However, some of them are, and the estimability package provides tools that package developers can use to tell which is which. With the use of these tools, a model object’s predict method could return estimable predictions as-is while flagging non-e...
متن کاملA Note on Artinianess of Certain Generalized
Let ?: R0?R be a ring homomorphism and suppose that a and a0, respectively, are ideals of R and R0 such that is an Artinian ring. Let M and N be two finitely generated R-modules and suppose that (R0,m0) is a local ring. In this note we prove that the R-modules and are Artinian for all integers i and j, whenever and . Also we will show that if a is principal, then the R-modules and ...
متن کاملA note on critical point and blow-up rates for singular and degenerate parabolic equations
In this paper, we consider singular and degenerate parabolic equations$$u_t =(x^alpha u_x)_x +u^m (x_0,t)v^{n} (x_0,t),quadv_t =(x^beta v_x)_x +u^q (x_0,t)v^{p} (x_0,t),$$ in $(0,a)times (0,T)$, subject to nullDirichlet boundary conditions, where $m,n, p,qge 0$, $alpha, betain [0,2)$ and $x_0in (0,a)$. The optimal classification of non-simultaneous and simultaneous blow-up solutions is determin...
