Uncalibrated Euclidean reconstruction: a review

摘要

This paper provides a review on techniques for computing a three-dimensional model of a scene from a single moving camera, with unconstrained motion and unknown parameters. In the classical approach, called autocalibration or self-calibration, camera motion and parameters are recovered first, using rigidity; then structure is easily computed. Recently, new methods based on the idea of stratification have been proposed. They upgrade the projective structure, achievable from correspondences only, to the Euclidean structure, by exploiting all the available constraints.
