Robust Optimal Pose Estimation

Enqvist, Olof LU and Kahl, Fredrik LU (2008) 10th European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV 2008) 5302. p.141-153
Abstract
We study the problem of estimating the position and orientation of a calibrated camera from an image of a known scene. A common problem in camera pose estimation is the existence of false correspondences between image features and modeled 3D points. Existing techniques Such as RANSAC to handle outliers have no guarantee of optimality. In contrast, we work with a natural extension of the L-infinity norm to the outlier case. Using a simple result from classical geometry, we derive necessary conditions for L-infinity optimality and show how to use them in a branch and bound setting to find the optimum and to detect outliers. The algorithm has been evaluated on synthetic as well as real data showing good empirical performance. In addition, for... (More)
