In photogrammetry and computer stereo vision, bundle adjustment is simultaneous refining of the 3D coordinates describing the scene geometry, the parameters of the relative motion, and the optical characteristics of the camera(s) employed to acquire the images, given a set of images depicting a number of 3D points from different viewpoints.
Structure from motion (SfM) [1] is a photogrammetric range imaging technique for estimating three-dimensional structures from two-dimensional image sequences that may be coupled with local motion signals. It is studied in the fields of computer vision and visual perception.
In computer vision, triangulation refers to the process of determining a point in 3D space given its projections onto two, or more, images. In order to solve this problem it is necessary to know the parameters of the camera projection function from 3D to 2D for the cameras involved, in the simplest case represented by the camera matrices .
Given a group of 3D points viewed by N cameras with matrices {} = …, define to be the homogeneous coordinates of the projection of the point onto the camera. The reconstruction problem can be changed to: given the group of pixel coordinates {}, find the corresponding set of camera matrices {} and the scene structure {} such that
Epipolar constraint and triangulation. If the relative position of the two cameras is known, this leads to two important observations: ... Visual motion of curves and ...
Biological motion demonstration: dots representing a person walking. In a 1953 study on SFM done by Wallach and O'Connell the kinetic depth effect was tested. They found that by turning shadow images of a three dimensional object can be used as a cue to recover the structure of the physical object quite well. [4]
Structure from motion may refer to: Structure from motion, a photogrammetric range imaging technique; Structure from motion (psychophysics), how humans recover shape ...
In computer vision, the fundamental matrix is a 3×3 matrix which relates corresponding points in stereo images.In epipolar geometry, with homogeneous image coordinates, x and x′, of corresponding points in a stereo image pair, Fx describes a line (an epipolar line) on which the corresponding point x′ on the other image must lie.
