Detection of Planar Regions with Uncalibrated Stereo using Distributions of Feature Points
Yoshiyuki Kanazawa, Hiroshi Kawakami · 2004
We propose a robust method for detecting local planar regions in a scene with an uncalibrated stereo. Our method is based on random sampling using distributions of feature point locations. For doing RANSAC, we use the distributions for each feature point defined by the distances between the point and the other points. We first choose a correspondence by using an uniform distribution and next choose candidate correspondences by using the distribution of the chosen point. Then, we compute a homography from the chosen correspondences and find the largest consensus set of the homography. We repeat this procedure until all regions are detected. We demonstrate that our method is robust to the outliers in a scene by simulations and real image examples.
