On computing metric upgrades of projective reconstructions under the rectangular pixel assumption

From MaRDI portal





This paper shows how to upgrade the projective reconstruction of a scene to a metric one in the case where the only assumption made about the cameras observing that scene is that they have rectangular pixels (zero-skew cameras). The proposed approach is based on a simple characterization of zero-skew projection matrices in terms of line geometry, and it handles zero-skew cameras with arbitrary or known aspect ratios in a unified framework. The metric upgrade computation is decomposed into a sequence of linear operations, including linear least-squares parameter estimation and eigenvalue-based symmetric matrix factorization, followed by an optional non-linear least-squares refinement step. A few classes of critical motions for which a unique solution cannot be found are spelled out. A MATLAB implementation has been constructed and preliminary experiments with real data are presented. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0977.68800].
