Self-calibration

Maybank and Faugeras [5] showed that self-calibration can be computed from a single uncalibrated camera that undergoes some displacement. All that is assumed is that some point matches can be established between images. They developed an algorithm that requires the camera to undergo a minimum of three displacements; there must be a minimum of seven matched points between successive images. From this information they are able to extract the intrinsic parameters of the camera.
