Rotation-Only Bundle Adjustment
We propose a novel method for estimating the global rotations of the cameras independently of their positions and the scene structure. When two calibrated cameras observe five or more of the same points, their relative rotation can be recovered independently of the translation. We extend this idea to multiple views, thereby decoupling the rotation estimation from the translation and structure estimation. Our approach provides several benefits such as complete immunity to inaccurate translations and structure, and the accuracy improvement when used with rotation averaging. We perform extensive evaluations on both synthetic and real datasets, demonstrating consistent and significant gains in accuracy when used with the state-of-the-art rotation averaging method.

Visual SLAM: Why Bundle Adjust?
Bundle adjustment plays a vital role in feature-based monocular SLAM. In many modern SLAM pipelines, bundle adjustment is performed to estimate the 6DOF camera trajectory and 3D map (3D point cloud) from the input featur…
Event-based Photometric Bundle Adjustment
We tackle the problem of bundle adjustment (i.e., simultaneous refinement of camera poses and scene map) for a purely rotating event camera. Starting from first principles, we formulate the problem as a classical non-lin…
Towards Rotation-only Imaging Geometry: Rotation Estimation
Structure from Motion (SfM) is a critical task in computer vision, aiming to recover the 3D scene structure and camera motion from a sequence of 2D images. The recent pose-only imaging geometry decouples 3D coordinates f…
CMax-SLAM: Event-based Rotational-Motion Bundle Adjustment and SLAM System using Contrast Maximization
Event cameras are bio-inspired visual sensors that capture pixel-wise intensity changes and output asynchronous event streams. They show great potential over conventional cameras to handle challenging scenarios in roboti…
Motion EstimationHybrid Rotation Averaging: A Fast and Robust Rotation Averaging Approach
We address rotation averaging (RA) and its application to real-world 3D reconstruction. Local optimisation based approaches are the de facto choice, though they only guarantee a local optimum. Global optimisers ensure gl…
