    The rank of trifocal grassmann tensors

    No full text
    Grassmann tensors arise from classical problems of scene reconstruction in computer vision. Trifocal Grassmann tensors, related to three projections from a projective space of dimension k onto view spaces of varying dimensions, are studied in this work. A canonical form for the combined projection matrices is obtained. When the centers of projections satisfy a natural generality assumption, such canonical form gives a closed formula for the rank of trifocal Grassmann tensors. The same approach is also applied to the case of two projections, confirming a previous result obtained with different methods in [M. Bertolini, G. Besana, and C. Turrini, Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. (4), 196 (2016), pp. 539-553]. The rank of sequences of tensors converging to tensors associated with degenerate configurations of projection centers is also considered, giving concrete examples of a wide spectrum of phenomena that can happen

    Critical configurations for 1-view in projections from P-k -> P-2

    In this paper we describe, from a theoretical point of view, critical configurations for the projective reconstruction of a set of points, for a single view, i.e. for calibration of a camera, in the case of projections from P-k to P-2 for k >= 4. We give first a general result describing these critical loci in P-k, which, if irreducible, are algebraic varieties of dimension k-2 and degree 3. If k=4 they can be either a smooth ruled surface or a cone and if k = 5 they can be a smooth three dimensional variety, ruled in planes, or a cone. If k >= 6, the variety is always a cone, the vertex of which has dimension at least k - 6. The reducible cases are studied in Appendix A. These results are then applied to determine explicitly the critical loci for the projections from P-k which arise from the dynamic scenes in P-3 considered in [13]

    Some formulas concerning nonsingular algebraic varieties embedded in some ambient variety

    Sia V una sottovarieta` algebrica non singolare k-dimensionale di una varietà algebrica proiettiva W, non singolare, di dimensione m \leq 2k. Si determinano le relazioni che le classi di Chern di V e di W devono soddisfare nelle varie componenti graduate di codimensione \geq m-k dell'anello di Chow di V. Le formule ottenute vengono quindi applicate ai casi nei quali V e` uno spazio lineare su di una forma, una varietà` abeliana, o uno scroll in P^m
