While Ullman's theorem assures a unique reconstruction modulo a reflection for 3 cameras and 4 points, we find a locally unique reconstruction for 3 cameras and 3 points. Explicit reconstruction formulas allow to decide whether picture data of three cameras seeing three points can be realized as a point-camera configuration.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-08-17T21:36:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "computer vision", "ullmans theorem assures", "nonlinear ullman transformation", "explicit reconstruction formulas", "unique reconstruction modulo" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0708.2438K" } } }
