Bayesian structure from motion using inertial information

A novel approach to Bayesian structure from motion (SfM) using inertial information and sequential importance sampling (SIS) is presented. The inertial information is obtained from camera-mounted inertial sensors and is used in the Bayesian SfM approach as prior knowledge of the camera motion in the sampling algorithm. Experimental results using both synthetic and real images show that, when inertial information is used, more accurate results can be obtained or the same estimation accuracy can be obtained at a lower cost.
