| Abstract English | Where am I and what am I seeing? This is a classical vision problem and this paper presents a solution based on efficient use of a combination of 2D and 3D features. Given a model of a scene, the objective is to find the relative camera location of a new input image. Unlike traditional hypothesize-and-test methods that try to estimate the unknown camera position based on 3D model features only, or alternatively, based on 2D model features only, we show that using a mixture of such features, that is, a hybrid correspondence set, may improve performance. We use minimal cases of structure-from-motion for hypothesis generation in a RANSAC engine. For this purpose, several new and useful minimal cases are derived for calibrated, semi-calibrated and uncalibrated settings. Based on algebraic geometry methods, we show how these minimal hybrid cases can be solved efficiently. The whole approach has been validated on both synthetic and real data, and we demonstrate improvements compared to previous work. © 2007 IEEE. |
