Abstract

. We propose a method for the recovery of projective shape and motion from multiple images of a scene by the factorization of a matrix containing the images of all points in all views. This factorization is only possible when the image points are correctly scaled. The major technical contribution of this paper is a practical method for the recovery of these scalings, using only fundamental matrices and epipoles estimated from the image data. The resulting projective reconstruction algorithm runs quickly and provides accurate reconstructions. Results are presented for simulated and real images. 1 Introduction In the last few years, the geometric and algebraic relations between uncalibrated views have found lively interest in the computer vision community. A first key result states that, from two uncalibrated views, one can recover the 3D structure of a scene up to an unknown projective transformation [Fau92, HGC92]. The information one needs to do so is entirely contained in the fundam...
