Abstract:
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for utilizing radial distortion to estimate a pose configuration are disclosed. According to one aspect, the method includes receiving, from each of a plurality of camera devices, an input pixel row of a radially distorted image and conducting a row comparison between each of the input pixel rows and a respectively associated synthesized pixel row. The method further includes approximating, for each row comparison, a span of a curve in an image space with a plurality of segments and computing, for each of the plurality of segments, a constraint. The method also includes utilizing the constraints to estimate a pose configuration.
