|Abstract:||Determining three-dimensional (3D) rigid object motion from intensity images is a central problem in computer vision. This thesis presents a computational approach of 3D rigid object motion estimation using straight line correspondences. Based on the rigidity assumption, a linear algorithm and a nonlinear algorithm of motion estimation are developed. With six or more line correspondences over three frames, the nonlinear algorithm first solves for the rotations, then eliminates the rotations from the original motion and computes the translations. The linear algorithm requires at least thirteen straight line correspondences over three frames to recover motion. A set of intermediate parameters is first estimated, and motion parameters are then determined from these intermediate parameters.
Also discussed in this thesis are techniques of straight edge extraction and straight line matching used for obtaining line correspondences of significant edges with high accuracy for motion estimation.
The algorithms of motion estimation have also been extended to two applications. The first extension considers the problem of camera location determination from lines and points, and the second, the problem of 3D rigid object motion estimation from image corners.
Experimental results on synthetic as well as real image data are given.
