Abstract

Recently, global SfM has been attracting many researchers, mainly because of its time efficiency. Most of these methods are based on averaging relative orientations (ROs). Therefore, eliminating incorrect ROs is of great significance for improving the robustness of global SfM. In this paper, we propose a method to eliminate wrong ROs which have resulted from repetitive structure (RS) and very short baselines (VSB). We suggest two corresponding criteria that indicate the quality of ROs. These criteria are functions of potentially conjugate points resulting from local image matching of image pairs, followed by a geometry check using the 5-point algorithm combined with RANSAC. RS is detected based on counts of corresponding conjugate points of the various pairs, while VSB is found by inspecting the intersection angles of corresponding image rays. Based on these two criteria, incorrect ROs are eliminated. We demonstrate the proposed method on various datasets by inserting our refined ROs into a global SfM pipeline. The experiments show that compared to other methods we can generate the better results in this way.
