Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, CVPR'94 %P 347-354 %C Seattle, Washington %X This paper deals with the recovery of 3D information using a single mobile camera in the context of active vision. We propose a general revisited formulation of the structure-from-motion issue, and we determine adequate camera configurations and motions which lead to a robust and accurate estimation of the 3D structure parameters. We apply the visual servoing approach to perform these camera motions. Real-time experiments dealing with the 3D structure estimation of points and cylinders are reported, and demonstrate that this active vision strategy can very significantly improve the estimation accuracy %U http://rainbow-doc.irisa.fr/pdf/1994_cvpr_chaumette.pdf %U http://dx.doi.org10.1109/CVPR.1994.323850 %8 June %D 1994
