Effective Structure-From-Motion for Hybrid Camera Systems

—We describe a pipeline for structure-from-motion with mixed camera types, namely omnidirectional and perspective cameras. The steps of the pipeline can be summarized as calibration, point matching, pose estimation, triangulation and bundle adjustment. For these steps, we either propose improved methods or modify existing perspective camera methods to make the pipeline more effective and automatic when employed for hybrid camera systems.
