In this paper, a new global camera pose estimation algorithm WTLS-IRLS is proposed, which can effectively solve the global rotation when there are outliers. Firstly, according to the relationship between the rotation vector and the rotation matrix, we simplify the product operation of the rotation matrix into the subtraction operation of the rotation vector, which reduces the complexity of the algorithm. Secondly, the weighted total least squares (WTLS) and the iteratively reweighted least squares (IRLS) are used to average relative rotations. As the initialization of IRLS, WTLS provides a good initial guess by correcting the linearization equation and adding weight information to the relative rotations. IRLS continues to add weight information to the relative rotation matrices to optimize the global rotations. We demonstrate the performance of our approach by a number of large-scale data sets, the results show that our method has been greatly improved in efficiency, accuracy and iteration. In order to verify the correctness of our proposed method, we completed the complete reconstruction process, the experimental results show that our proposed WTLS-IRLS rotation averaging algorithm can obtain dense point clouds with more three-dimensional points.
