Abstract :
We propose a new approach to the camera self-calibration problem, based on geometric algebra. After an introduction on the adopted Clifford algebra framework, we provide new insight on the epipolar constraint as defined in terms of bivectors. On the basis of that, we propose a novel solution for the simultaneous determination of the focal lengths of the cameras and the rigid motion between views.
