METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR POINT-TO-POINT TRANSLATION BETWEEN IMAGES

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for establishing correspondences between images using through generation of a translation between the different perspectives. Methods may include: receiving first sensor data from a first image sensor, where the first sensor data includes a first image of an environment captured from a first perspective; receiving second sensor data from a second image sensor of a second image of the environment captured from a second perspective; identifying image correspondence points between the first sensor data and the second sensor data; computing pairwise vectors between corresponding pairs of first projected points of the first sensor data and second projected points of the second sensor data; clustering the pairwise vectors according to magnitude and orientation; and generating a translation vector from clusters of pairwise vectors, where the translation vector represents a shift of the second image sensor data to correspond to ground truth data.
