Abstract

The quality of point correspondences is crucial for the successful application of multi camera self-calibration procedures. There are several interest point detectors, local descriptors and matching algorithms, which can be combined almost arbitrarily. In this paper, we compare the point correspondences produced by several such combinations. In contrast to previous comparisons, we evaluate the correspondences based on the accuracy of relative pose estimation and multi camera calibration.
