Abstract

We address the problem of the prediction of new views of a given scene from existing weakly or fully calibrated views called reference views. Our method does not make use of a three-dimensional model of the scene, but of the existing relations between the images. The new views are represented in the reference views by a viewpoint and a retinal plane, i.e. by four points which can be chosen interactively. From this representation and from the constraints between the images, we derive an algorithm to predict the new views. We discuss the advantages of this method compared to the commonly used scheme: 3D reconstruction-projection.

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.

An approach to visual object recognition in which a 3D object is represented by the linear combination of 2D images of the object is proposed and it is shown that for objects with sharp edges as well as with smooth bounding contours, the set of possible images of a given object is embedded in a linear space spanned by a small number of views.

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.

Projective depth: A geometric invariant for 3D reconstruction from two perspective/orthographic views and for visual recognition

69 Citations2002Amnon Shashua

It is shown that with the correspondences coming from four non-coplanar points in the scene and the corresponding epipoles, it is possible to define and reconstruct a projective invariant that can be used later to reconstruct the projective or affine structure of the scene or directly to generate novel views of thescene.

Relative 3D positioning and 3D convex hull computation from a weakly calibrated stereo pair

57 Citations2002Laurent Robert, Olivier Faugeras

It is shown that some useful three-dimensional information such as relative positions of points and planes and 3-D convex hulls can be computed using the weak-calibration idea and the notion of visibility is introduced, which allows deriving those properties.
