The present paper reports the experimental results of applying some of the fixation algorithms to a sequence of real images where the motion is a combination of translation and rotation. Techniques for autonomous choice of parameters which result in good estimates for important motion parameters are also described.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":410961,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings. 11th IAPR International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132772741","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}

Existing work is based on the use of a calibration pattern whose 3D model is known a priori. The authors present a complete method for calibrating a camera, which requires only point matches from image sequences. The authors show, using experiments with noisy data, that it is possible to calibrate a camera just by pointing it at the environment, selecting points of interests, and tracking them in the image while moving the camera with an unknown motion. The camera calibration is computed in two steps. In the first step the epipolar transformation is found via the estimation of the fundamental matrix. The second step of the computation uses the so-called Kruppa equations, which link the epipolar transformation to the intrinsic parameters. These equations are integrated in an iterative filtering scheme.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":410961,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings. 11th IAPR International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122957732","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}

Most techniques used to determine particle orientation from projections assume that the particle exhibits some form of symmetry. A method is described for the determination of the relative view orientation of randomly acquired projections of asymmetric objects. It extends upon the projection slice theorem by determining the relative orientation of projections by the location of lines of intersection among the Fourier transforms of the projections in three-dimensional Fourier space. The complete algorithm is described and its efficacy is demonstrated using real data.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":410961,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings. 11th IAPR International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128581318","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}

At present, INTEGRA is capable of recognition and localization of polyhedral objects and objects that can be treated as piecewise combinations of curved surfaces of quadratic order, typically spherical, ellipsoidal, cylindrical and conical surfaces.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":410961,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings. 11th IAPR International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116141591","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}

From known positions of a calibration bar, a logistic equation is fitted with values of spot positions read from a linear position detector at a number of angular positions of a scanning mirror. Furthermore, with an approximate form of the general equations describing the geometry, a series of design guidelines are derived to help a designer conduct a preliminary study of a particular range camera. Experimental results demonstrating the technique are found to compare favorably with theoretical predictions.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":410961,"journal":{"name":"[1992] Proceedings. 11th IAPR International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"141 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127327091","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}
