Stereoscopic vision through epipolarization without orientation parameters

Abstract

Image epipolarization in photogrammetry is a common technique used to determine relative orientation based on collinearity and coplanarity, which usually requires scenes with multiple images. In general, these processes require internal orientation parameters, therefore the knowledge of camera calibration and relative orientation parameters between images. This paper presents a new algorithm that allows the epipolarization of a photogrammetric stereo pair without introducing any internal orientation parameter and without calculating the relative position between the images using images obtained with an unknown non-calibrated camera. © 2011 IEEE.
