Abstract

In this paper we consider the images taken from pairs ofparabolic catadioptric cameras separated by discrete motions.Despite the nonlinearity of the projection model, theepipolar geometry arising from such a system, like the perspectivecase, can be encoded in a bilinear form, the catadioptricfundamental matrix. We show that all such matriceshave equal Lorentzian singular values, and they definea nine-dimensional manifold in the space of 4 脳 4 matrices.Furthermore, this manifold can be identified with a quotientof two Lie groups. We present a method to estimate a matrixin this space, so as to obtain an estimate of the motion.We show that the estimation procedures are robust to modestdeviations from the ideal assumptions.
