Gröbner Basis Methods for Minimal Problems in Computer Vision

Stewenius, Henrik LU (2005) In Doctoral Theses in Mathematical Sciences 2005:1.
Abstract
A method is presented for building solvers



for classes of multivariate polynomial equations.



The method is based on solving an analogous



template problem over a finite field, and



then using the elimination order established



for this problem for the original



class of problems. A strength of this method



is that this permits pivoting in the elimination.



Solvers for several minimal problems in



computer vision are presented. Relative



pose is solved both for a generalised camera,



and for a camera with unknown focal length,

A method is presented for building solvers

The method is based on solving an analogous

then using the elimination order established

class of problems. A strength of this method



is that this permits pivoting in the elimination.



Solvers for several minimal problems in



computer vision are presented. Relative



pose is solved both for a generalised camera,



and for a camera with unknown focal length,



both in two positions with six visible points.



A solver for optimal triangulation in



three images is presented.



Model-free calibration for pinhole cameras



is investigated. It is shown that for a smooth



deformation of the image plane, the image plane



can be projectively reconstructed from two



flow-fields from purely translating cameras.



Methods for hand-eye calibration using the



multilinear constraints and



vehicle-eye for laser-scanner based



navigation systems are presented. (Less)
