• Abstract summary: We propose a complete solution to relative pose estimation from two ACs for multi-camera systems. The solver generation is based on Cayley or quaternion parameterization for rotation and hidden variable technique to eliminate translation. The proposed AC-based solvers and PC-based solvers are effective and efficient on synthetic and real-world datasets.

• Abstract: The point correspondence (PC) and affine correspondence (AC) are widely used for relative pose estimation. An AC consists of a PC across two views and an affine transformation between the small patches around this PC. Previous work demonstrates that one AC generally provides three independent constraints for relative pose estimation. For multi-camera systems, there is still not any AC-based minimal solver for general relative pose estimation. To deal with this problem, we propose a complete solution to relative pose estimation from two ACs for multi-camera systems, consisting of a series of minimal solvers. The solver generation in our solution is based on Cayley or quaternion parameterization for rotation and hidden variable technique to eliminate translation. This solver generation method is also naturally applied to relative pose estimation from PCs, resulting in a new six-point method for multi-camera systems. A few extensions are made, including relative pose estimation with known rotation angle and/or with unknown focal lengths. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed AC-based solvers and PC-based solvers are effective and efficient on synthetic and real-world datasets.

  We present a novel approach and benchmark, termed UNOPose, for unseen one-reference-based object pose estimation. Building upon a coarse-to-fine paradigm, UNOPose constructs an SE(3)-invariant reference frame to standardize object representation. We recalibrate the weight of each correspondence based on its predicted likelihood of being within the overlapping region.

  Current approaches approximate the continuous pose representation with a large number of discrete pose hypotheses. We present a Deep Voxel Matching Network (DVMNet) that eliminates the need for pose hypotheses and computes the relative object pose in a single pass. Our method delivers more accurate relative pose estimates for novel objects at a lower computational cost compared to state-of-the-art methods.

  Smartphones, tablets and camera systems used, e.g., in cars and UAVs, are typically equipped with IMUs that can measure the gravity vector accurately. We propose a novel globally optimal solver, minimizing the algebraic error in the least-squares sense, to estimate the relative pose in the over-determined pose. The proposed solvers are compared with the state-of-the-art ones on four real-world datasets with approx. 50000 image pairs in total.
