A standard approach to generate a camera pose from images of a single moving camera is Structure From Motion (SfM). When aiming on a practical implementation of SfM often a camera is needed that is lightweight and small. This work analyses which is the best camera and lens for SfM, that is small in size and available on the market. Therefore we compare cameras with fisheye and perspective lense...

In this paper, a vision-based stabilization and output tracking control method for a four-rotor helicopter has been proposed. A novel 2 camera method has been described for estimating the full 6 DOF pose of the helicopter. This two camera system is consisting of a pan-tilt ground camera and an onboard camera. The pose estimation algorithm is compared in simulation to other methods (such as four...

In this paper, we introduce a method to estimate the object’s pose from multiple cameras. We focus on direct estimation of the 3D object pose from 2D image sequences. Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) is used to extract corresponding feature points from adjacent images in the video sequence. We first demonstrate that centralized pose estimation from the collection of corresponding featur...

A novel approach is presented for real-time pose estimation of a known object being observed through a single camera. The future aim is to develop the method outlined here into a robust closed-form solution suitable for implementation on a monocular face tracking system. However, the method outlined in this paper offers a generic 2D to 3D pose estimation technique which is not limited to face t...
