Abstract
We present a new algorithm for the calibration of a camera and the recovery of 3D scene structure up to a scale from image sequences using known angles between lines in the scene. Traditional method for calibration using scene constraints requires various scene constraints due to the stratified approach. Proposed method requires only one type of scene constraint of known angle and also it directly recovers metric structure up to an unknown scale from projective structure. Specifically, we recover the matrix that is the homography between the projective structure and the Euclidean structure using angles. Since this matrix is a unique one in the given set of image sequences, we can easily deal with the problem of varying intrinsic parameters of the camera. Experimental results on the synthetic and real images demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed algorithm.
