  1. Critical Configurations for Projective Reconstruction Fredrik Kahl Joint work with Richard Hartley Chalmers University of Technology Lund University Oct 2015

  2. Outline • Problem statement • Two-view critical configurations • Three views and more • Conclusions

  3. Unknown camera positions Structure and Motion Problem • Given images, reconstruct: • Scene geometry (structure) • Camera positions (motion)

  4. When is the solution unique? Investigated previously by: • Krames (1940) • Buchanan (1988) • Maybank (1993) • Maybank & Shashua (1998) • Hartley & Kahl (2007) This work: Complete classification of all critical configurations in two and more views • Bertolini, Besana, Turrini (2007,2009,2015) • And others...

  5. Notation

  6. cone hyperboloid

  7. Proof based on a generalization of Pascal’s Theorem

  8. Pascal’s Theorem (1639) For generalization to quadrics, see: Richard Hartley, Fredrik Kahl, Critical Configurations for Projective Reconstruction from Multiple Views, International Journal of Computer Vision, 2007.

  9. N-view critical configurations • Given N>3 cameras and a point set, then critical iff each subset of three cameras and point set critical

  10. Open problem • What are the critical configurations for the calibrated case?

  11. Carlsson duality and critical configurations • Exchange role of points and cameras via a Cremona transformation • Dual configurations: • N cameras and M+4 points • M cameras and N+4 points • Example: ”2-view ambiguity and arbitrary points on a hyperboloid” is dual to ”arbitrary cameras and 6 points on a hyperboloid”

  12. Conclusions • Critical configurations for the structure and motion problem • Main criticalities: • (i) elliptic quartics (intersection of two quadratic surfaces) • (ii) rational quartic curve on a non-degenerate quadratic surface • (iii) twisted cubic ... • Projective geometry essential tool

  13. Thank you for your attention!
