Camera Pose Estimation
Given a map contians street-view images and 3D data (e.g. lidar, SfM point cloud, or depth), estimate the 6 DoF camera pose of a query image.
-
Input of the system: query image, reference image and lidar point cloud, where reference image and lidar are known in a global coordinate system.
-
Output of the system: 6 DoF camera pose of the query image in the global coordinate system.
Note: 6 DoF camera pose mean 3 DoF translation and 3 DoF rotation along x, y, z axis.
