Experimental Comparison of Wide Baseline Correspondence Algorithms for Multi Camera Calibration

The quality of point correspondences is crucial for the succ essful application of multi camera self-calibration procedures. There are several interest point detectors, lo cal descriptors and matching algorithms, which can be combined almost arbitrarily. In this paper, we compare th e point correspondences produced by several such combinations. In contrast to previous comparisons, we eval uate the correspondences based on the accuracy of relative pose estimation and multi camera calibration.
