Abstract

Camera pose estimation is the problem of determining the position and orientation of an internally calibrated camera from known 3D reference points and their images. We briefly survey several existing methods for pose estimation, then introduce our new complete linear method, which is based on a symbolic-numeric method from the geometric (Jet) theory of partial differential equations. The method is stable and robust. In particular, it can deal with the points near critical configurations. Numerical experiments are given to show the performance of the new method.
