It is widely known that, for the affine camera model, both shape and motion can be factorized directly from the so-called image measurement matrix constructed from image point coordinates. The ability to extract both shape and motion from this matrix by a single SVD operation makes this shape-from-motion approach attractive; however, it can not deal with missing feature points and, in the presence of outliers, a direct SVD to the matrix would yield highly unreliable shape and motion components. Here, we present an outlier correction scheme that iteratively updates the elements of the image measurement matrix. The magnitude and sign of the update to each element is dependent upon the residual robustly estimated in each iteration. The result is that outliers are corrected and retained, giving improved reconstruction and smaller reprojection errors. Our iterative outlier correction scheme has been applied to both synthesized and real video sequences. The results obtained are remarkably good.
