DFR: Depth from Rotation by Uncalibrated Image Rectification with Latitudinal Motion Assumption
Despite the increasing prevalence of rotating-style capture (e.g., surveillance cameras), conventional stereo rectification techniques frequently fail due to the rotation-dominant motion and small baseline between views. In this paper, we tackle the challenge of performing stereo rectification for uncalibrated rotating cameras. To that end, we propose Depth-from-Rotation (DfR), a novel image rectification solution that analytically rectifies two images with two-point correspondences and serves for further depth estimation. Specifically, we model the motion of a rotating camera as the camera rotates on a sphere with fixed latitude. The camera's optical axis lies perpendicular to the sphere's surface. We call this latitudinal motion assumption. Then we derive a 2-point analytical solver from directly computing the rectified transformations on the two images. We also present a self-adaptive strategy to reduce the geometric distortion after rectification. Extensive synthetic and real data experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing works in effectiveness and efficiency by a significant margin.
