โฆ Synopsis
Existing computational models of structure-from-motion are all based on a quantitative analysis of variations in optical flow or feature point correspondences within the interiors of single objects. We present an alternative approach effective for objects rotating in depth. The method involves a set of qualitative constraints on shape and motion based on patterns of flow at surface boundaries. These constraints are used in the development of a simple approximation technique for recovering surface shape. The approach is based on large-magnitude effects that are likely to be easily extracted, even from noisy data. In addition, it explains a variety of phenomena described in the literature on human vision that cannot be accounted for by any existing computational model of structure-from-motion.

This paper proposes a method for reconstructing qualitative positions of landmarks by using geometrical constraints. The acquisition process iterates the following steps: (1) observing relations among landmarks and motion directions of moving objects, (2) classifying the landmarks into a pair of lan
Structure from motion and structure from stereo are two vision cues for achieving 3D reconstruction. The two cues have complementary strengths; while 3D reconstruction is accurate but correspondence establishment is di cult in the stereo cue, the reverse is true in the motion cue. This paper address
