Traditional methods in geometric computer vision, which are still the go-to techniques for robot navigation, three-dimensional (3D) scene reconstruction, and the real-time generation of Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) assets, are based on frequentist statistical methods, in particular maximum likelihood estimation. The goal of this Research Internship is to develop a basis for the application of Bayesian methods in geometric computer vision, starting with the fundamental problem of 2D and 3D point matching. Candidates should have research-level knowledge of two of the three follow...
