Metric Reconstruction

Recover the camera matrices from estimated fundamental matrix F

Use the camera matrices to compute the point correspondences.

Without K1 and K2 (internal calibration),
recover a projective transforme

With K1 and K2,
recover the metric reconstruction.

The epipolar constraint defines a line,

since

x2^T F x1 = l1^T x1 = 0

An epipolar line corresponding to the point x2,

because l1^T x1 = 0

Thus

x2 is on the epipolar line

A point e is epipole,

when the epipolar lines meet at this point e.

Must satisfy:

F e1 = 0

or

e2^T F = 0

How to project a camera plane A to a camera plane B

How to Create a holographic display and camcorder In the last part of the series "How to Create a Holographic Display and Camcorder", I talked about what the interest points, descriptors, and features to find the same object in two photos. In this part of the series, I'll talk about how to extract the depth of the object in two photos by calculating the disparity between the photos. In order to that, we need to construct a triangle mesh between correspondences. To construct a mesh, we will use Delaunnay triagulation. Delaunnay Triagulation - It minimizes angles of all triangles, while the sigma of triangles is maximized. The reason for the triangulation is to do a piece wise affine transformation for each triangle mapped from a projective plane A to a projective plane B. A projective plane A is of a camera projective view at time t, while a projective plane B is of a camera projective view at time t+1. (or, at t-1. It really doesn't matter)...

State of the Art SLAM techniques

Best Stereo SLAMs in 2017 are reviewed. Namely, (in arbitrary order) EKF-SLAM based, Keyframe based, Joint BA optimization based, RSLAM, S-PTAM, LSD-SLAM, Best RGB-D SLAMs in 2017 are also reviewed. KinectFusion, Kintinuouns, DVO-SLAM, ElasticFusion, RGB-D SLAM, See my keypoints of the best Stereo SLAMs. Stereo SLAM Conditionally Independent Divide and Conquer EKF-SLAM [5] operate in large environments than other approaches at that time uses both close and far points far points whose depth cannot be reliably estimated due to little disparity in the stereo camera uses an inverse depth parametrization [6] shows empirically points can be triangulated reliably, if their depth is less than about 40 times the stereo baseline. - Keyframe-based Stereo SLAM - uses BA optimization in a local area to archive scalability. ...

How to create a holographic camcorder

Since the invention of a camcorder, we haven't seen much of advancement of a video camcorder. Sure, there are few interesting, new features like capturing video in 360 or taking high resolution 4K content. But the content is still in 2D and we still watch it on a 2D display. Have you seen the movie Minority Report (2002)? There is a scene where Tom Cruise is watching a video recording of his lost son in 3D or holographically. Here is a video clip of this scene. I have been waiting for the technological advancement to do this, but it's not here yet. So I decided to build one myself. In order to build a holographic video camcorder, we need two devices. 1) a video recorder - a recorder which captures the video content in 3D or holographically. 2) a video display - a display device which shows the recorded holographic content in 3D or holographically. Do we have a technology to record a video, holographically. Yes, we can now do it, and I'll e...
