Motion and structure from motion in a piecewise planar environment

TLDR: It is shown that when the environment is piecewise linear, it provides a powerful constraint on the kind of matches that exist between two images of the scene when the camera motion is unknown, and that this constraint can be recovered from an estimate of the matrix of this collineation.

Abstract: We show in this article that when the environment is piecewise linear, it provides a powerful constraint on the kind of matches that exist between two images of the scene when the camera motion is unknown. For points and lines located in the same plane, the correspondence between the two cameras is a collineation. We show that the unknowns (the camera motion and the plane equation) can be recovered, in general, from an estimate of the matrix of this collineation. The two-fold ambiguity that remains can be removed by looking at a second plane, by taking a third view of the same plane, or by using a priori knowledge about the geometry of the plane being looked at. We then show how to combine the estimation of the matrix of collineation and the obtaining of point and line matches between the two images, by a strategy of Hypothesis Prediction and Testing guided by a Kalman filter. We finally show how our approach can be used to calibrate a system of cameras.
