摘要

Abstract

A method for estimating the relative position and orientation of a camera from corresponding image points is presented, in which the translation is eliminated from the optimization while the rotation is estimated using a spectral criterion based on the consistency of epipolar plane normals. For each point pair, a symmetric rank-1 matrix is constructed from the cross product of normalized bearing directions, and the smallest eigenvalue of the sum of these matrices is minimized over RSO(3). The translation direction is then recovered as the eigenvector associated with the minimal eigenvalue. A smooth approximation to the smallest eigenvalue via the log-sum-exp function is introduced, and iterative robust weights are employed. The implementation relies on automatic differentiation. Experiments on real data confirm the high reliability of the estimates.
