Robust EstimationRobust Estimation: A Toy Example How to fit a line based on a set of 2D points? RANSACRANSAC: an iterative method to estimate parameters of a mathematical model from a set of observed data which contains outliersoutliers
35
RANSACRANSAC: RANdom SAmple Consensus Objective Robust fit of model to data set S which contains outliers Algorithm (i)Randomly select a sample of s data points from S and instantiate the model from this subset. (ii)Determine the set of data points S i which are within a distance threshold t of the model. The set S i is the consensus set of samples and defines the inliers of S. (iii)If the subset of S i is greater than some threshold T, re- estimate the model using all the points in S i and terminate (iv)If the size of S i is less than T, select a new subset and repeat the above. (v)After N trials the largest consensus set S i is selected, and the model is re-estimated using all the points in the subset S i
36
RANSAC Repeat M times: –Sample minimal number of matches to estimate two view relation (affine, perspective, etc). –Calculate number of inliers or posterior likelihood for relation. –Choose relation to maximize number of inliers.
