In this paper we address the problem of model building in environments we do not control. An example problem is the reconstruction of aircraft geometry from images obtained from the ground. We show that using six or more unconstrained scaled orthographic silhouette views it is possible to recover the geometry of the aircraft and the motion between the camera views using only the two outer epipo...

This paper presents a practical method of epipolar resampling of high-resolution satellite imagery. Satellite imagery imaged with a linear array CCD sensor has quite different geometric characteristics from aerial photographs, therefore the conventional method of epipolar resampling is not applicable to it. On the other hand, epipolar resampling method based on rigorous orientation model with h...

This paper presents a new method for matching individual line segments between images. The method uses both greylevel information and the multiple view geometric relations between the images. For image pairs epipolar geometry facilitates the computation of a cross-correlation based matching score for putative line correspondences. For image triplets cross-correlation matching scores are used in...

In the human visual system, the projective relationship between the images seen in each eye with each other changes with their motion as the viewer attends to different points in space. The active vision heads built for many humanoid robots approximate human gaze behavior and share this property. Knowledge of this projective relationship is used in stereo vision tasks and is captured entirely b...

This paper gives a new method for image rectiication, the process of resampling pairs of stereo images taken from widely diiering viewpoints in order to produce a pair of \matched epipolar projections". These are projections in which the epipolar lines run parallel with the x-axis and consequently, disparities between the images are in the x-direction only. The method is based on an examination...
