A missing data estimation approach for small size image sequence

摘要

Data missing is a frequently encountered problem for structure-from-motion (SFM). In this paper, a sub-sequence based approach is proposed to deal with the missing data estimation problem for small size image sequence. In the proposed method, the sub-sequences are first extracted from the original sequence. Further, multiple weaker estimators are constructed by means of the column space fitting (CSF) algorithm. Finally, the missing entries are estimated by a linear programming based weighted model. Experimental results on several widely used image sequences demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed algorithm.
