Lab Meeting September 8th, 2008 (Jeff):On Handling Uncertainty in the Fundamental Matrix for Scene and Motion Adaptive Pose Recovery

Title: On Handling Uncertainty in the Fundamental Matrix for Scene and Motion Adaptive Pose Recovery

Authors: Sreenivas R. Sukumar, Hamparsum Bozdogan, David L. Page, Andreas F. Koschan and Mongi A. Abidi

Abstract:

The estimation of the fundamental matrix is the key step in feature-based camera ego-motion estimation for applications in scene modeling and vehicle navigation. In this paper, we present a new method of analyzing and further reducing the risk in the fundamental matrix due to
the choice of a particular feature detector, the choice of the matching algorithm, the motion model, iterative hypothesis generation and verification paradigms. Our scheme makes use of model-selection theory to guide the switch to optimal methods for fundamental matrix
estimation within the hypothesis-and-test architecture. We demonstrate our proposed method for vision-based robot localization in large-scale environments where the environment is constantly changing and navigation within the environment is unpredictable.
