Robust Rotation Synchronization via Low-rank and Sparse Matrix Decomposition
This paper deals with the rotation synchronization problem, which arises in
global registration of 3D point-sets and in structure from motion. The problem
is formulated in an unprecedented way as a "low-rank and sparse" matrix
decomposition that handles both outliers and missing data. A minimization
strategy, dubbed R-GoDec, is also proposed and evaluated experimentally against
state-of-the-art algorithms on simulated and real data. The results show that
R-GoDec is the fastest among the robust algorithms.Comment: The material contained in this paper is part of a manuscript

Shape Interaction Matrix Revisited and Robustified: Efficient Subspace Clustering with Corrupted and Incomplete Data
The Shape Interaction Matrix (SIM) is one of the earliest approaches to
performing subspace clustering (i.e., separating points drawn from a union of
subspaces). In this paper, we revisit the SIM and reveal its connections to
several recent subspace clustering methods. Our analysis lets us derive a
simple, yet effective algorithm to robustify the SIM and make it applicable to
realistic scenarios where the data is corrupted by noise. We justify our method
by intuitive examples and the matrix perturbation theory. We then show how this
approach can be extended to handle missing data, thus yielding an efficient and
general subspace clustering algorithm. We demonstrate the benefits of our
approach over state-of-the-art subspace clustering methods on several
challenging motion segmentation and face clustering problems, where the data
includes corrupted and missing measurements.Comment: This is an extended version of our iccv15 pape
On Computing the Translations Norm in the Epipolar Graph
This paper deals with the problem of recovering the unknown norm of relative
translations between cameras based on the knowledge of relative rotations and
translation directions. We provide theoretical conditions for the solvability
of such a problem, and we propose a two-stage method to solve it. First, a
cycle basis for the epipolar graph is computed, then all the scaling factors
are recovered simultaneously by solving a homogeneous linear system. We
demonstrate the accuracy of our solution by means of synthetic and real
experiments.Comment: Accepted at 3DV 201
Robust Motion Segmentation from Pairwise Matches
In this paper we address a classification problem that has not been
considered before, namely motion segmentation given pairwise matches only. Our
contribution to this unexplored task is a novel formulation of motion
segmentation as a two-step process. First, motion segmentation is performed on
image pairs independently. Secondly, we combine independent pairwise
segmentation results in a robust way into the final globally consistent
segmentation. Our approach is inspired by the success of averaging methods. We
demonstrate in simulated as well as in real experiments that our method is very
effective in reducing the errors in the pairwise motion segmentation and can
cope with large number of mismatches
