EPIPOLE EXTRACTION USING AFFINE MOTION PARALLAX
Jonathan Lawn and Roberto Cipolla
July 1993
Determining the motion of a camera from its image sequences has so far proved very difficult, and no practical algorithms have been found for freely moving cameras. This novel algorithm is based on motion parallax, but uses sparse visual motion estimates to extract the direction of translation of the camera directly, after which determination of the camera rotation and the depths of the image features follows easily. This method can also detect and reject independent motion, and provide a measure of the uncertainty of its estimates.
If you have difficulty viewing files that end '.gz',
which are gzip compressed, then you may be able to find
tools to uncompress them at the gzip
web site.
If you have difficulty viewing files that are in PostScript, (ending
'.ps' or '.ps.gz'), then you may be able to
find tools to view them at
the gsview
web site.
We have attempted to provide automatically generated PDF copies of documents for which only PostScript versions have previously been available. These are clearly marked in the database - due to the nature of the automatic conversion process, they are likely to be badly aliased when viewed at default resolution on screen by acroread.
