Skeletal graphs for efficient structure from motion

Snavely, Noah, Seitz, Steven M., Szeliski, Richard·2008·2008 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition

Abstract

We address the problem of efficient structure from motion for large, unordered, highly redundant, and irregularly sampled photo collections, such as those found on Internet photo-sharing sites. Our approach computes a small skeletal subset of images, reconstructs the skeletal set, and adds the remaining images using pose estimation. Our technique drastically reduces the number of parameters that are considered, resulting in dramatic speedups, while provably approximating the covariance of the full set of parameters. To compute a skeletal image set, we first estimate the accuracy of two-frame reconstructions between pairs of overlapping images, then use a graph algorithm to select a subset of images that, when reconstructed, approximates the accuracy of the full set. A final bundle adjustment can then optionally be used to restore any loss of accuracy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
