• Abstract summary: We present several minimal solvers that use six PCs to compute the 6DOF relative pose of multi-camera systems. Ray bundle constraints are found and proven when a subset of PCs relate the same cameras across two views. Tests demonstrate the superior accuracy and efficiency of our solvers compared to state-of-the-art six-point methods.

• Abstract: Relative pose estimation using point correspondences (PC) is a widely used technique. A minimal configuration of six PCs is required for two views of generalized cameras. In this paper, we present several minimal solvers that use six PCs to compute the 6DOF relative pose of multi-camera systems, including a minimal solver for the generalized camera and two minimal solvers for the practical configuration of two-camera rigs. The equation construction is based on the decoupling of rotation and translation. Rotation is represented by Cayley or quaternion parametrization, and translation can be eliminated by using the hidden variable technique. Ray bundle constraints are found and proven when a subset of PCs relate the same cameras across two views. This is the key to reducing the number of solutions and generating numerically stable solvers. Moreover, all configurations of six-point problems for multi-camera systems are enumerated. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superior accuracy and efficiency of our solvers compared to state-of-the-art six-point methods. The code is available at https://github.com/jizhaox/relpose-6pt

  This paper introduces a novel method we call Cascaded Refinement Transformers, or CRT-6D. We replace the commonly used dense intermediate representation with a sparse set of features sampled from the feature pyramid we call Os(Object Keypoint Features) where each element corresponds to an object keypoint. We achieve inferences 2x faster than the closest real-time state of the art methods while supporting up to 21 objects on a single model.

  We study all possible camera configurations within the generalized camera system. To derive practical solvers, we test different parameterizations as well as different solving strategies. We show that in the presence of noise in the 3D points these solvers provide better estimates than the corresponding absolute pose solvers.

  SO-Pose is a framework for regressing all 6 degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) for the object pose in a cluttered environment from a single RGB image. We introduce a novel reasoning about self-occlusion, in order to establish a two-layer representation for 3D objects. Cross-layer consistencies that align correspondences, self-occlusion and 6D pose, we can further improve accuracy and robustness.

  Pattern-based calibration techniques can be used to calibrate the intrinsics of the cameras individually. Infrastucture-based calibration techniques are able to estimate the extrinsics using 3D maps pre-built via SLAM or Structure-from-Motion. We propose to fully calibrate a multi-camera system from scratch using an infrastructure-based approach.
