Abstract
Efficient techniques of recovering the pose of an optical apparatus exploiting structural redundancies due the conditioned motion of an apparatus are disclosed. The techniques are based on determining a reduced homography consonant to the conditioned motion of the optical apparatus. The optical apparatus comprises an optical sensor on which space points are imaged as measured image points. The reduced homography is based on a reduced representation of the space points, obtained by exploiting the structural redundancy in the measured image points due to the conditioned motion. The reduced representation consonant with the conditioned motion is defined by rays in homogeneous coordinates and contained in a projective plane of the optical sensor.
