Abstract We consider the problem of nonrigid shape and motion recovery from point correspondences in multiple perspective views. It is well known that the constraints among multiple views of a rigid shape are multilinear on the image points and can be reduced to bilinear (epipolar) and trilinear constraints among two and three views, respectively. In this paper, we generalize this classic result by showing that the constraints among multiple views of a nonrigid shape consisting of K shape bases can be reduced to multilinear constraints among K + ⌈ (K + 1)/2⌉, ⋯, 2K + 1 views. We then present a closed form solution to the reconstruction of a nonrigid shape consisting of two shape bases. We show that point correspondences in five views are related by a nonrigid quintifocal tensor, from which one can linearly compute nonrigid shape and motion. We also demonstrate the existence of intrinsic ambiguities in the reconstruction of camera translation, shape coefficients and shape bases. Examples show the effectiveness of our method on nonrigid scenes with significant perspective effects.
