Abstract

This paper addresses the parameters' estimation of 2D and 3D transformations. For the estimation we present a method based on system identification theory, we named it the "A-method". The transformations are considered as elements of the Lie group GL(n) or one of its subgroups. We represent the transformations in terms of their Lie Algebra elements. The Lie algebra approach assures to follow the shortest path or geodesic in the involved Lie group. To prove the potencial of our method, two experiments are presented. The first one is a monocular estimation of 3D rigid motion of an object in the visual space. With this aim, the six parameters of the rigid motion are estimated based on measurements of the six parameters of the affine transformation in the image. Secondly, we present the estimation of the affine or projective transformations involved in monocular region tracking.
