Characterizations of image acquisition and Epipolar geometry of multiple panoramas


by Wei, S-K, Huang, F and Klette, R
Abstract:
Recently multiple panoramic images have emerged and received increasingly interests in applications of 3D scene visualization and reconstruction. There is a need to characterize and clarify their common natures and differences so that a more general form/framework or a better computational model can be further discovered or developed. This paper introduces some notions at an abstract level for character- izing the essential components of panoramic image acquisition models. A general computational model is proposed to describe the family of cylindrical panoramas. The epipolar geometry of the cylindrical panoramic pairs for a general and a leveled case are particularly studied.
