Some important properties are discussed. By appropriate choices of bias parameters, we construct many interested and useful biased linear estimators, which are the extension of ordinary biased linear estimators in the full_rank linear model to the deficient_rank linear model. At last, we give a numerical example in geodetic adjustment.展开更多

It introduced the multibody line optical flow constraint (MLOFC), a polynomial equation relating motion models and line parameters. The motion models can be obtained analytically as the derivative of the MLOFC at the corresponding line measurement, without knowing the motion model associated with that line. Experiments on real and synthetic sequences were also presented.展开更多

文摘In this paper, we define a new class of biased linear estimators of the vector of unknown parameters in the deficient_rank linear model based on the spectral decomposition expression of the best linear minimun bias estimator. Some important properties are discussed. By appropriate choices of bias parameters, we construct many interested and useful biased linear estimators, which are the extension of ordinary biased linear estimators in the full_rank linear model to the deficient_rank linear model. At last, we give a numerical example in geodetic adjustment.
