Abstract
This paper presents a structure-from-motion system which delivers dense structure information from a sequence of dense optical flows. Most traditional feature-based approaches cannot be extended to compute dense structure due to impractical computational complexity. We demonstrate that by decomposing uncertainty information into independent and correlated parts and employing an eigen-based uncertainty representation, we can decrease these complexities from O(N2) to O(N) for every frame, where N is the number of pixels in the images. We also show that our new representation of structural information makes it easy to merge over a long image sequence even when no specific feature is tracked over multiple frames.
