Understanding noise: The critical role of motion error in scene reconstruction

In structure from motion algorithms, the error in the estimated motion affects each reconstructed 3-D point in a systematic way. The authors attempt to isolate the effect of the motion error as correlations in the structure error and show theoretically that these correlations can improve existing multi-frame structure from motion techniques. Experimental results and previously reported work confirm the theoretical predictions.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
