Herein, we present a novel approach for monocular dual quadric initialization that combines three-dimensional (3D) map points with two-dimensional (2D) object detection for forward-translating camera movements. The traditional approach using 2D detection bounding boxes in multiple views fails in straight vehicle motion scenarios as object observation is limited to few frames. Although single image initialization is possible when multiple constraints are introduced, such initialization is based on strong assumptions. In this letter, we incorporate constraints from 3D map points with single-view 2D object detection to robustly initialize the dual quadric. Constraints from 3D map points are converted to planar constraints from their convex hull. Together with the projective planar constraints from bounding boxes, the proposed method can infer accurate dual quadric parameters. Further, comparison studies with the state …
