Vc. Aitken et Hm. Schwartz, A COMPARISON OF ROTATIONAL REPRESENTATIONS IN STRUCTURE AND MOTION ESTIMATION FOR MANEUVERING OBJECTS, IEEE transactions on image processing, 4(4), 1995, pp. 516-520
Alternative methods are examined for estimating motion and structure o
f objects undergoing smooth maneuvers through measurements of feature
positions in long, multiple-camera image sequences. Performance of ext
ended Kalman filters are compared for Euler angle-axis, roll-pitch-yaw
, and quaternion parameterizations of rotational motion. The angle-axi
s method was found to give the best overall performance with a computa
tionally efficient implementation.
