Abstract

This paper presents a linear method to estimate the pose of a noncentral catadioptric system with a quadric shaped mirror in relation to a world reference frame (or local reference frame without loss of generality). The vision system is assumed to be calibrated. The method uses also as input data the structure of the scene. It is proved that any reflection point should belong to an analytical quadric that intersects the mirror quadric itself. This constraint can be written linearly in the 3D scene point coordinates (in the camera reference frame). The unknown pose screw transformation that relates camera and world reference frames can then be used in the linear model, allowing for the construction of a linear equation in the pose transformation elements. Additional constraints are used to force the estimated rotation elements to build an orthogonal matrix. Tests with simulated data and also on real images with different mirrors proved the method to be consistent and to estimate the pose accurately. However, it was also observed that the method is sensitive to noise. The results are compared with another method.
