Abstract

Alternative methods are examined for estimating motion and structure of objects undergoing smooth maneuvers through measurements of feature positions in long, multiple-camera image sequences. Performance of extended Kalman filters are compared for Euler angle-axis, roll-pitch-yaw, and quaternion parameterizations of rotational motion. The angle-axis method was found to give the best overall performance with a computationally efficient implementation.
