The algorithm uses the epipolar criterion to segment feature trajectories belonging to the background scene and each of the independently moving objects. As a large baseline length is essential for the reliability of the epipolar geometry, the geometric robust information criterion is employed for a key-frame selection within the sequences. Once the features are segmented, corresponding objects are reconstructed individually using a sequential algorithm that is capable of prioritizing the frame pairs with respect to their reliability and information content. The experimental results on synthetic and real data demonstrate that our approach has the potential to effectively deal with the multi-body MFSfM problem.} }
