Recently, more and more computer vision researchers are paying attention to error analysis so as to fulfill various accuracy requirements arising from different applications. As a geometric invariant under projective transformations, cross-ratio is the basis of many recognition and reconstruction algorithms which are based on projective geometry. We propose an efficient way of analyzing localization error for computer vision systems which use cross-ratios in planar localization. By studying the inaccuracy associated with cross-ratio-based computations, we inspect the possibility of using linear transformation to approximate localization error due to 2-D noises of image extraction for reference points. Based on such a computationally efficient analysis, a practical way of choosing point features in an image so as to establish the probabilistically most accurate planar location system using crossratios is developed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
