TL;DR
The theory and a practical algorithm for the autocalibration of a moving projective camera, from m ≥ 5 views of a planar scene, which generalizes Hartley's method for the internal calibration of a rotating camera to allow camera translation and to provide 3D as well as calibration information.

Lecture notes in computer scienceCamera self-calibration: Theory and experiments
928 Citations1992O. D. Faugeras, Q.-T. Luong +1 more
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.
International Journal of Computer VisionA theory of self-calibration of a moving camera
818 Citations1992Stephen J. Maybank, Olivier Faugeras
The feasibility of camera calibration based on the epipolar transformation is demonstrated and two curves of degree six can be obtained in the dual plane such that one of the real intersections of the two yields the correct camera calibration.

641 Citations2002Richard Hartley
By preceding the 8 point algorithm with a very simple normalization (translation and scaling) of the coordinates of the matched points, results are obtained comparable with the best iterative algorithms.
Lecture notes in computer scienceA factorization based algorithm for multi-image projective structure and motion
576 Citations1996Peter Sturm, Bill Triggs
A practical method for the recovery of projective shape and motion from multiple images of a scene by the factorization of a matrix containing the images of all points in all views, using only fundamental matrices and epipoles estimated from the image data.
Autocalibration and the absolute quadric
436 Citations2002Bill Triggs
The author describes a new method for camera autocalibration and scaled Euclidean structure and motion, from three or more views taken by a moving camera with fixed but unknown intrinsic parameters, based on a general constrained optimization technique-sequential quadratic programming-that may well be useful in other vision problems.
Lecture notes in computer scienceSelf-calibration from multiple views with a rotating camera
310 Citations1994Richard Hartley
There is no epipolar structure since all images are taken from the same point in space and determination of point matches is considerably easier than for images taken with a moving camera, since problems of occlusion or change of aspect or illumination do not occur.

Euclidean reconstruction from image sequences with varying and unknown focal length and principal point
212 Citations2002Anders Heyden, Kalle Åström
The special case of reconstruction from image sequences taken by cameras with skew equal to 0 and aspect ratio equal to 1 has been treated and it is shown that it is possible to reconstruct an unknown object from images taken by a camera with Euclidesan image plane up to similarity transformations, i.e., Euclidean transformations plus changes in the global scale.
Euclidean reconstruction from constant intrinsic parameters
173 Citations1996Anders Heyden, Kalle Åström
A new method for Euclidean reconstruction from sequences of images taken by uncalibrated cameras, with constant intrinsic parameters, is described, which leads to a variant of the so called Kruppa equations.

It is shown how a special decomposition of general projection matrices, called canonic, enables us to build geometric descriptions for a system of cameras which are invariant with respect to a given group of transformations.

A reconstruction method that allows to vary the focal length and is resistant to noise, and in which case also reconstruction from a moving rig becomes possible even for pure translation.
A stratified approach to metric self-calibration
86 Citations2002Marc Pollefeys, Luc Van Gool
A stratified approach is proposed which gradually retrieves the metric calibration of the camera setup using a constraint which can be formulated between any two arbitrary images of the sequence.
Self-calibration and Euclidean reconstruction using motions of a stereo rig
54 Citations2002Radu Horaud, G. Csurka
This paper describes a method to upgrade projective reconstruction to affine and to metric reconstructions using rigid general motions of a stereo rig, and carries out a theoretical error analysis which quantify the relative importance of the accuracies of projective- to-affine conversion and affine-to-Euclidean conversion.
Motion analysis with a camera with unknown, and possibly varying intrinsic parameters
33 Citations2002Thierry Viéville, Olivier Faugeras
A mechanism of image stabilization in which the rotational disparity is iteratively canceled allows a better estimation of the focus of expansion, and simplifies different aspects of the analysis of the equations: structure from motion equation, analysis of ambiguity, geometrical interpretation of the motion equation.

Motion of an uncalibrated stereo rig: self-calibration and metric reconstruction
26 Citations2002Z. Zhang, Q.-T. Luong +1 more
This paper addresses the problem of self-calibration and metric reconstruction from one unknown motion of an uncalibrated stereo rig and finds that redundancy of the information contained in a sequence of stereo images makes this method more robust than using a sequences of monocular images.
A New Approach to Geometric Fitting
10 Citations1996Bill Triggs
This paper describes a new, more direct approach to geometric fitting, formulating it as the explicit recovery of a coherent, statistically optimal set of estimates of the “underlying data points” that gave rise to the observations, together with the estimated constraints which these points exactly verify.
