Structure-from-Motion Revisited

Schonberger, Johannes L., Frahm, Jan-Michael·2016·2016 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR)

Abstract

Incremental Structure-from-Motion is a prevalent strategy for 3D reconstruction from unordered image collections. While incremental reconstruction systems have tremendously advanced in all regards, robustness, accuracy, completeness, and scalability remain the key problems towards building a truly general-purpose pipeline. We propose a new SfM technique that improves upon the state of the art to make a further step towards this ultimate goal. The full reconstruction pipeline is released to the public as an open-source implementation.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Ambiguous environmental appearances and structural errors such as drift accumulate over time and decrease reconstruction quality.

    “Moreover, ambiguous environmental appearances and structural errors such as drift accumulate over time and therefore decrease the reconstruction quality118.”

  • Spatial reconstructions of the environment can be extracted using dedicated sensors such as LiDAR or reconstructed from multiple images via mosaicking or structure from motion/SLAM.

    “Such spatial reconstructions of the environment can either be extracted by using dedicated sensors such as LiDAR116 or can be reconstructed from multiple images, either by stitching the images into a unified two-dimensional panorama (e.g., mosaicking117) or by computing the three-dimensional environment from partially overlapping images (e.g., structure from motion118 or simultaneous localization”

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.
