A fast and robust method for fundamental matrix estimation
a new fast and robust fundamental matrix estimation method was proposed to solve the problem that the estimation of fundamental matrix leads to lower estimation accuracy and lower stability due to outliers. The method removed outliers into the computation of the fundamental matrix instead of taking it as an independent processing step. The potential error corresponding points were eliminated by iteration to achieve the stable estimation of the fundamental matrix. Then
the epipolar geometry error criterion was used to identify outliers and the estimation results of the fundamental matrix were obtained during each iteration. The iterative process could converge quickly
even if a large number of matched outliers were present
the calculated values would soon become stable. The results of simulation and actual experimental show that the proposed algorithm improves the estimation accuracy greatly
and also ensures similar calculation efficiency at the same time. Compared with the method of M-estimator
it has more than 30% speed improvement
and compared with the MAP-SAC algorithm with higher estimation accuracy
