Keywords

General software features

The library provides solvers for multi-view geometry, from 2 to n views:

homography,
fundamental matrix,
essential matrix,
pose estimation,
triangulation.

A generic framework allows using these solvers in robust estimation, as RANSAC and AC-RANSAC.

Moreover, a complete algorithmic pipeline for external calibration is provided, as a modern alternative to Bundler software.

The philosophy of this C++ library is to write clear and maintainable code. All modules have unitary tests. It relies on Eigen for linear algebra, Google's Ceres for Levenberg-Marquardt minimization and Lemon for graph processing.

Context in which the software is used

Internally used for multi-view calibration and 3D reconstruction.
