Determination of Camera´s Cycab Position

This work describes a visual odometry by minimizing a quadrifocal constraint in order to calculate the position of an autonomous vehicle (Cycab). This method can also reject outliers corresponding to moving objects such as occlusions and illumination changes. An iterative non-linear trajectory estimation approach is formulated and it is based on a quadrifocal relationship between the image intensities within adjacent views of the stereo pair. The technique is applied to recovering the trajectory of a moving vehicle in a video sequence.
