Acquisition of a Large Pose-Mosaic Dataset

We describe the generation of a large pose-mosaic dataset: a collection of several thousand digital images, grouped by spatial position into spherical mosaics, each annotated with estimates of the acquiring camera's 6 DOF pose (3 DOF position and 3 DOF orientation) in an absolute coordinate sys...

description We describe the generation of a large pose-mosaic dataset: a collection of several thousand digital images, grouped by spatial position into spherical mosaics, each annotated with estimates of the acquiring camera's 6 DOF pose (3 DOF position and 3 DOF orientation) in an absolute coordinate system. The pose-mosaic dataset was generated by acquiring images, grouped by spatial position into nodes (essentially, spherical mosaics). A prototype mechanical pan-tilt head was manually deployed to acquire the data. Manual surverying provided initial position estimates for each node. A back-projecting scheme provided initial rotational estimates. Relative rotations within each node, along with internal camera parameters, were refined automatically by an optimization-correlation scheme. Relative translations and rotations among nodes were refined according to point correspondences, generated automatically and by a human operator. The resulting pose-imagery is self-consistent under a variety of evaluation metrics. Pose-mosaics are useful "first-class" data objects, for example in automatic reconstruction of textured 3D CAD models which represent urban exteriors.
