Visual Servoing and Pose Estimation with Cameras Obeying the Unified Model

In this chapter, both visual servoing and pose estimation from a set of points are dealt with. More precisely, a unique scheme based on the projection onto the unit sphere for cameras obeying the unified model is proposed. From the projection onto the surface of the unit sphere, new visual features based on invariants to rotations are proposed. It is shown that satisfactory results can be obtained using these features for visual servoing and pose estimation as well.
