Abstract: This paper presents an application of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to the problem of pose estimation in computer vision. Continuum Shape Constraint Analysis (CSCA), a theoretical development bases on PCA, generates a variety of numerical measures that can be used to assess the shape and predict the accuracy of pose estimation. The proposed approach was developed for LIDAR-based scanning that samples non-specific points from the object across the area observed from a single view. Based on CSCA measures, the paper answers the question: what views of an object can be expected to lead to the lowest pose estimation error computed via the Iterative Closest-Point Algorithm, or conversely, what level of error can be expected for a particular scan view. A novel measure, the Expectivity Index, presented in this paper, is used to assess and predict the pose estimation accuracy. The approach is demonstrated in both numerical simulation and experimental studies using the!
Stanford Bunny, cuboid and asymmetrical cuboctahedron shapes. The continuum nature of the CSCA formulation produces measures that are pure shape properties an object.
