While classical work is based on the use of a calibration pattern whose 3D model is a priori known, self-calibration methods have also been investigated. These methods require only point matches obtained during unknown motions, without any a priori knowledge of the scenes. However, the method initially presented by Faugeras, Luong and Maybank (1992) was computationally expensive and sensitive to noise. In this paper, we propose an alternative method to compute at the same time camera calibration and motion, which is robust and efficient. This method allows also to take into account the important trinocular constraints. The practical applicability of our algorithm is illustrated with numerous real examples, which includes 3D reconstruction.","PeriodicalId":312019,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 12th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129163133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to perform such a detection task, we have to determine and sort the rigid structures; we work with structures of five segments and declare that they are rigid if they verify several rigidity conditions. Using these constraints, we sort them into \"classes\" according to their associated 2D affine motion fields.","PeriodicalId":312019,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 12th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126207574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method uses an evidence measure, whose value for a given displacement reflects both the similarity between two locations and the confidence in a correct match. The measure is based on the gradient fields of the images, and can be computed quickly and in parallel. Accumulating the evidence measure for different displacements allows (1) stable computation, of correspondences without smoothing across motion boundaries, and (2) detection of dominant motions. The method works well both on highly textured images and on images containing regions of uniform intensities, and can be used for a variety of applications, including stereo, motion, and object tracking.","PeriodicalId":312019,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 12th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125859580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two-level approach achieves quantitative results comparable with the single-level approach, but requires far fewer training examples and uses simple general-purpose features. The hierarchical approach also generates output class maps that are isomorphic with the original image and preserve important structures, and which therefore may be used for further processing.","PeriodicalId":312019,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 12th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127010360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
