Abstract English A number of minimal problems of structure from motion for<br> cameras with radial distortion have recently been studied and solved<br> in some cases. These problems are known to be numerically very<br> challenging and in several cases there exist no known practical<br> algorithm yielding solutions in floating point arithmetic. We make<br> some crucial observations concerning the floating point implementation<br> of Gröbner basis computations and use these new insights to formulate fast and<br> stable algorithms for two minimal problems with radial distortion<br> previously solved in exact rational arithmetic only: (i) simultaneous<br> estimation of essential matrix and a common radial distortion<br> parameter for two partially calibrated views and six image point<br> correspondences and (ii) estimation of fundamental matrix and two<br> different radial distortion parameters for two uncalibrated views and<br> nine image point correspondences. We demonstrate on simulated and<br> real experiments that these two problems can be efficiently solved in<br> floating point arithmetic.
