                       Calibration, point matches, and line segment matches 
                             of a close-range architectural image set 
                       ---------------------------------------------------- 
 
This set contains images of an Oxford University building, taken by 
Olympus C-820L digital camera. The camera was held by a person 
standing on the ground. The following was applied to the set: 
 
1. Automated wide baseline stereo: affine & scale invariant features 
were detected in each image and matched by RANSAC, yielding projective 
camera matrices and a cloud of projective 3D points. 
 
2. Metric upgrade from vanishing points: vanishing points computed 
from detected line segments and (along with square pixels assumption) 
used to upgrade the projective reconstruction to metric one. 
 
3. Automated line segment matching: the line segments matched and 
reconstructed, using geometrical constraints on lines and photommetric 
information in their neighborhood. 
   There are some mismatches among the matched lines, mainly due to 
ill conditioning of the geometry for horizontal lines (because camera 
centers all lie in about horizontal plane).
