Pose estimation for sensors which capture cylindric panoramas


by Huang, F, Klette, R and Xie, Y-H
Abstract:
We show that there exist linear models for sensor pose estimation for multi-view panoramas defined by a symmetric or leveled pair of cylindric images. We assume that pairs of corresponding points have been detected already in those pairs of panoramas. For the first time a cost function is formulated whose minimization solves the pose estimation problem for these two general cases of multi-view panoramas, specified by unconstrained sensor parameter values but only minor constraints on sensor poses. (Note that due to the non-linearity of the panoramic projection geometry, the modeling of sensor pose estimation typically results into non-linear forms which incur numerical instability.) © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
