Tensorial Transfer: Representation of N > 3 Views of 3D scenes
The recently discovered \trilinear tensor" has been shown to play a similar role to the \funda-mental" matrix, but with three views instead of two views, in representing the relative motion parameters of an observer moving in the 3D projective world. The issue of a general representation for any number of views remains an open problem. The main result presented here is the closed-form concatenation of any number of views. The concatenation operation shows that N tensors are suucient for representing a set of N +2 views, i.e., the tensor of any triplet of views from the set can be generated in closed-form from an arbitrary collection of N tensors over this set. These concatenation operators may be useful in the context of image synthesis , image mosaicing and video compression.
