Multi-view 3D estimation and applications to match move

Multiple views of a rigid 3D scene captured from a moving camera can be used to estimate the 3D poses (rotations and translations) and the 3D structure of the unmodeled scene. In this problem domain, there are two key problems addressed in this paper: automatic Euclidean pose estimation in extended sequences even when views of the scene rapidly change, that is features come in and go out of view relatively rapidly; and insertion of synthetic 3D objects in the real scene and their authentic projection into the given real views (also called match move). The paper presents a number of examples of different camera motions to highlight the versatility of 3D estimation. Examples of match move are also presented.
