Installing multi-camera systems and inertial measurement units (IMUs) in self-driving cars, micro aerial vehicles, and robots is becoming increasingly common. An IMU provides the vertical direction, allowing coordinate frames to be aligned in a common direction. The degrees of freedom (DOFs) of the rotation matrix are reduced from 3 to 1. In this paper, we propose a globally optimal solver to calculate the relative poses and scale of generalized cameras with a known vertical direction. First, the cost function is established to minimize algebraic error in the least-squares sense. Then, the cost function is transformed into two polynomials with only two unknowns. Finally, the eigenvalue method is used to solve the relative rotation angle. The performance of the proposed method is verified on both simulated and KITTI datasets. Experiments show that our method is more accurate than the existing state-of-the-art solver in estimating the relative pose and scale. Compared to the best method among the comparison methods, the method proposed in this paper reduces the rotation matrix error, translation vector error, and scale error by 53%, 67%, and 90%, respectively.
