A Perspective Theory for Motion and Shape Estimation in Machine Vision

摘要: In this paper, we consider the problem of motion and shape estimation a moving body with aid monocular camera. We show that reduces to specific parameter perspective dynamical system. Surprisingly, above reduction is independent whether data measured brightness pattern which object produces on image plane or observed are points, lines, curves produced as result discontinuities in pattern. Many cases have been analyzed paper. These include fairly complete analysis planar textured surface undergoing rigid flow an affine flow. two for orthographic, pseudo-orthographic, image-centered projections. The basic procedure introduced subdivide into modules, one "spatial averaging" other "time averaging." carried out new "realization theory systems" systems described discrete time continuous time. Finally, much our has substantiated by computer simulation algorithms developed order explicitly compute parameters. Detailed would answer realizability question subject future research.
