Abstract

In this paper, we show how to use the conformal geometric algebra (CGA) as a framework to model the different catadioptric systems using the unified model (UM). This framework is well suited since it can not only represent points, lines and planes, but also point pairs, circles and spheres (geometric objects needed in the UM). We define our model using the great expressive capabilities of the CGA in a more general and simpler way, which allows an easier implementation in more complex applications. On the other hand, we also show how to recover the projective invariants from a catadioptric image using the inverse projection of the UM. Finally, we present applications in navigation and object recognition.
