Estimation of Camera Locations in Highly Corrupted Scenarios: All About that Base, No Shape Trouble
We propose a strategy for improving camera location estimation in structure from motion. Our setting assumes highly corrupted pairwise directions (i.e., normalized relative location vectors), so there is a clear room for improving current state-of-the-art solutions for this problem. Our strategy identifies severely corrupted pairwise directions by using a geometric consistency condition. It then selects a cleaner set of pairwise directions as a preprocessing step for common solvers. We theoretically guarantee the successful performance of a basic version of our strategy under a synthetic corruption model. Numerical results on artificial and real data demonstrate the significant improvement obtained by our strategy.

Robust Camera Location Estimation by Convex Programming
$3$D structure recovery from a collection of $2$D images requires the estimation of the camera locations and orientations, i.e. the camera motion. For large, irregular collections of images, existing methods for the loca…
TriP: A Triangle Puzzle Approach to Robust Translation Averaging
Translation averaging aims to recover camera locations from pairwise relative translation directions and is a fundamental component of global Structure-from-Motion pipelines. The problem is challenging because direction …
Tight Fusion of Events and Inertial Measurements for Direct Velocity Estimation
Traditional visual-inertial state estimation targets absolute camera poses and spatial landmark locations while first-order kinematics are typically resolved as an implicitly estimated sub-state. However, this poses a ri…

We establish exact recovery for the Least Unsquared Deviations (LUD) algorithm of Ozyesil and Singer. More precisely, we show that for sufficiently many cameras with given corrupted pairwise directions, where both camera…
