An Optimal Algorithm for Estimating Fundamental Matrix by Removing the Outliers

Article Preview

Abstract:

The accurate estimation of the fundamental matrix is one of the most important steps in many computer vision applications such as 3D reconstruction, camera self-calibration, motion estimation and stereo matching. In this paper, an optimal fundamental matrix estimation method based on removing exceptional match points is proposed. Firstly, the initial mismatch is reduced by the bidirectional SIFT feature matching algorithm. Secondly, the partial concentration problem of random samples is solved by the bucket segmentation method. In order to obtain robustness, the fundamental matrix is estimated in a RANSAC framework according to the principle of minimizing the geometric distance. Finally, the iterate process improves the accuracy of the fundamental matrix by using the LM algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed method can reduce the outlier’s interference better and improve the estimation precision of the fundamental matrix.
