Estimación de la ubicación relativa de una cámara utilizando un sistema de visión monocular
Objective: Estimate the location of a camera with respect to objects in the real world, using monocular vision. Methodology: In this paper we introduce a method to calculate the relative location of the camera with respect to a group of points located in the three-dimensional space. The method requires only three fixed reference points of which the real distance between each pair of points must be known. With this information it is possible to estimate the relative location of the camera when it is moved, using successive images that contain the same points. Contribution: In recent years, processing power of computers has grown considerably and, with this, the interest of the scientific community in visual odometry has also increased. For this purpose, in many cases, it is convenient to use a single camera (monocular system). Unfortunately, a monocular system allows to estimate the location of the camera with respect to some object in the real world only up to a scale factor. The main contribution of this work is the estimation of the location of the camera in real world coordinates with respect to a reference object.
