Self-calibration using a particular motion of camera

In this article, we are interested in the camera self-calibration from three views of a 3-D scene. The originality of our method resides in the new technique used to estimate the homography of the plane at infinity by the minimization of a non-linear cost function that is based on a particular motion of the camera "translation and small rotation". Our approach also permits to calculate the camera parameters and the depths of interest points detected in the images. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of our algorithms, in term of precision and convergence.
