Statistical image analysis for pose estimation without point correspondences

Abstract We propose a novel algorithm for correspondenceless pose estimation based on a realistic camera setup for a class of industrial problems. The algorithm provides unique closed form solutions to all parameters of interest and its superior performance is demonstrated by extensive comparisons with an epipolar geometry-based algorithm.
