Metric Multiview Geometry -- a Catalogue in Low Dimensions

Algebraic Geometry 2024-02-02 v1

Abstract

We systematically compile an exhaustive catalogue of multiview varieties and anchored multiview varieties arising from projections of points and lines in 1, 2, and 3-dimensional projective space. We say that two such varieties are ED-equivalent if there is a linear isomorphism between that that preserve ED-critical points. This gives rise to fourteen equivalence classes, and we determine various properties - dimension, set-theoretic equations, and multidegrees - for all varieties featured in our catalogue. In the case of points, we also present a complementary study of resectioning varieties and their singular loci. Finally, we propose conjectures for the Euclidean distance degrees of all varieties appearing in our comprehensive compilation.
