A Unified Model for Line Projections in Catadioptric Cameras With Rotationally Symmetric Mirrors
Lines are among the most used computer vision features, in applications such as camera calibration to object detection. Catadioptric cameras with rotationally symmetric mirrors are omnidirectional imaging devices, capturing up to a 360 degrees field of view. These are used in many applications ranging from robotics to panoramic vision. Although known for some specific configurations, the modeling of line projection was never fully solved for general central and non-central catadioptric cameras. We start by taking some general point reflection assumptions and derive a line reflection constraint. This constraint is then used to define a line projection into the image. Next, we compare our model with previous methods, showing that our general approach outputs the same polynomial degrees as previous configuration-specific systems. We run several experiments using synthetic and real-world data, validating our line projection model. Lastly, we show an application of our methods to an absolute camera pose problem.

Analytical Modeling of Vanishing Points and Curves in Catadioptric Cameras
Vanishing points and vanishing lines are classical geometrical concepts in perspective cameras that have a lineage dating back to 3 centuries. A vanishing point is a point on the image plane where parallel lines in 3D sp…

This paper presents an analytical study for the metric properties of the paraboloidal double projection, i.e. central and orthogonal projections used in the catadioptric camera system. Metric properties have not sufficie…

We propose a novel two-step method for estimating the intrinsic and extrinsic calibration of any radially symmetric camera, including non-central systems. The first step consists of estimating the camera pose, given a St…
TranslationCongruences and Concurrent Lines in Multi-View Geometry
We present a new framework for multi-view geometry in computer vision. A camera is a mapping between $\mathbb{P}^3$ and a line congruence. This model, which ignores image planes and measurements, is a natural abstraction…
