Compared to polynomial splines, rational functions are known to be more efficient and well-behaved data fitting models. However, due to the potential presence of zeros in their denominator, rational functions tend to yield notoriously hard optimization problems. In this work, we present a novel leas…
An approach for estimating the pose of a camera given a set of 3D points and their corresponding 2D image projections is presented. It formulates the problem as a non-linear quadratic program and identifies regions in the parameter space that contain unique minima with guarantees that at least one o…
Absolute orientation estimation is the determination of the similarity transformation between two sets of corresponding 3D points, a task arising frequently in computer vision and robotics. We have recently proposed an absolute orientation algorithm based on the Fast Optimal Attitude Matrix (FOAM) a…
