Abstract: | This paper addresses the recovery of structure and motion from uncalibrated images of a scene under full perspective or under affine projection. Particular emphasis is placed on the configuration of two views, while the extension to $N$ views is given in Appendix. A unified expression of the fundamental matrix is derived which is valid for any projection model without lens distortion (including full perspective and affine camera). Affine reconstruction is considered as a special projective reconstruction. The theory is elaborated in a way such that everyone having knowledge of linear algebra can understand the discussion without difficulty. A new technique for affine reconstruction is developed, which consists in first estimating the affine epipolar geometry and then performing a triangulation for each point match with respect to an implicit common affine basis. |
