Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of estimating the epipolar geometryfrom point correspondences between two images taken by uncalibratedperspective cameras. It is shown that Jepson‘s and Heeger‘s linearsubspace technique for infinitesimal motion estimation can begeneralized to the finite motion case by choosing an appropriate basisfor projective space. This yields a linear method for weakcalibration. The proposed algorithm has been implemented and tested onboth real and synthetic images, and it is compared to other linear andnon-linear approaches to weak calibration.
