Panorama Measurement Based on Spherical Projective Geometry

Previous panoramic studies focused on image stitching and the panoramic camera development. In recent years, people began to focus on panoramic scalability issues, the existed methods adopt traditional photogrammetric methods for data processing based on a multi-directional panorama images, using a large number of control points and combined bundle adjustment. Indeed, panorama itself is a kind modeling method, it is completely unnecessary to reconstruct the panoramic entire scene for measurement. So in this paper, we focus on a kind of panorama measurement from spherical projective geometry we studied and constructed the relative, absolute orientation and measurable algorithms based on spherical stereo pair panorama in order to achieve panoramic measurement in the process of panorama roaming. The experiment shows that the approach is much validated, and something useful is obtained.
