T. Moons et al., AFFINE RECONSTRUCTION FROM PERSPECTIVE IMAGE PAIRS WITH A RELATIVE OBJECT-CAMERA TRANSLATION IN BETWEEN, IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence, 18(1), 1996, pp. 77-83
A method is described to recover the three-dimensional affine structur
e of a scene consisting of at least five points identified in two pers
pective views with a relative object-camera translation in between. Wh
en compared to the results for arbitrary stereo views, a more detailed
reconstruction is possible using less information. The method present
ed only assumes that the two images are obtained by Identical cameras,
but no knowledge about the intrinsic parameters of the camera(s) or a
bout the performed translation is assumed, By the same method, affine
3D reconstruction from a single view can be achieved for parallel stru
ctures. In that case, four points suffice for affine reconstruction.
