Abstract

Model-based pose estimation techniques that match image and model triangles require large numbers of matching operations in real-world applications. The authors show that by using approximations to perspective, 2D lookup tables can be built for each of the triangles of the models. An approximation called 'weak perspective' has been applied previously to this problem; the authors consider two other perspective approximations: paraperspective and orthoperspective. These approximations produce lower errors for off-center image features than weak perspective.
