Grouping and Structure Recovery for Images of Objects with Finite Rotational Symmetry

TLDR
In this article, it was shown that 3D objects with discrete rotational symmetry induce geometric relations in the image, which can be used to group features arising from the object and to reconstruct the 3D structure of the object.
Abstract
It is shown that 3D objects with discrete rotational symmetry induce geometric relations in the image. Symmetry related points on the object are imaged to points which satisfy these image geometric relations. These relations are unaffected by camera calibration (interior orientation) and object pose. The relations can be utilised to group features in the image arising from the object. Furthermore, 3D structure of the object can be recovered from a single image up to a specified ambiguity. The paper illustrates these mechanisms on real image examples.

Detecting symmetry and symmetric constellations of features

TL;DR: It is shown how symmetric pairs of features can be efficiently detected, how the symmetry bonding each pair is extracted and evaluated, and how these can be grouped into symmetric constellations that specify the dominant symmetries present in the image.

Symmetry based 3D reconstruction of repeated cylinders

TL;DR: The combination of 360°-rotational symmetry and camera center is used to identify two orthogonal planes called axis plane and Orthogonal axis plane, which are the basis for the proposed reconstruction framework and virtual camera configuration.

Camera Self-Calibration: Theory and Experiments

TL;DR: It is shown, using experiments with noisy data, that it is possible to calibrate a camera just by pointing it at the environment, selecting points of interest and then tracking them in the image as the camera moves.

What can be seen in three dimensions with an uncalibrated stereo rig

TL;DR: This paper addresses the problem of determining the kind of three- dimensional reconstructions that can be obtained from a binocular stereo rig for which no three-dimensional metric calibration data is available, and shows that even in this case some very rich non-metric reconstructions of the environment can nonetheless be obtained.
