Detailed Documentation

Rotation estimator base class.

It takes features of all images, pairwise matches between all images and estimates rotations of all cameras.

The coordinate system origin is implementation-dependent, but you can always normalize the rotations in respect to the first camera, for instance. :

Methods

bool
operator()(
    const std::vector<ImageFeatures>& features,
    const std::vector<MatchesInfo>& pairwise_matches,
    std::vector<CameraParams>& cameras
    )

Estimates camera parameters.

Parameters:

features	Features of images
pairwise_matches	Pairwise matches of images
cameras	Estimated camera parameters

Returns:

True in case of success, false otherwise

virtual
bool
estimate(
    const std::vector<ImageFeatures>& features,
    const std::vector<MatchesInfo>& pairwise_matches,
    std::vector<CameraParams>& cameras
    ) = 0

This method must implement camera parameters estimation logic in order to make the wrapper detail::Estimator::operator()_ work.
