Homography-Based Minimal-Case Relative Pose Estimation With Known Gravity Direction
(2022) In IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence 44(1). p.196-210- Abstract
- In this paper, we propose a novel approach to two-view minimal-case relative pose problems based on homography with known gravity direction. This case is relevant to smart phones, tablets, and other camera-IMU (Inertial measurement unit) systems which have accelerometers to measure the gravity vector. We explore the rank-1 constraint on the difference between the euclidean homography matrix and the corresponding rotation, and propose an efficient two-step solution for solving both the calibrated and semi-calibrated (unknown focal length) problems. Based on the hidden variable technique , we convert the problems to the polynomial eigenvalue problems, and derive new 3.5-point, 3.5-point, 4-point solvers for two cameras such that the two...

We present detailed analyses and comparisons with the existing 6- and 7-point solvers, including results with smart phone images. (Less)
