Computing Rectifying Homographies for Stereo Vision
نویسندگان
چکیده
Image rectification is the process of applying a pair of 2 dimensional projective transforms, or homographies, to a pair of images whose epipolar geometry is known so that epipolar lines in the original images map to horizontally aligned lines in the transformed images. We propose a novel technique for image rectification based on geometrically well defined criteria such that image distortion due to rectification is minimized. This is achieved by decomposing each homography into a specialized projective transform, a similarity transform, followed by a shearing transform. The effect of image distortion at each stage is carefully considered.

Projective Rectification Without Epipolar Geometry
We present a novel algorithm performing projective rectification which does not require explicit computation of the epipolar geometry, and specifically of the fundamental matrix. Instead of finding the epipoles and computing two homographies mapping the epipoles to infinity, as done in recent work on projective rectification, we exploit the fact that the fundamental matrix of a pair of rectifie...

متن کاملColor Homography: theory and applications
Images of co-planar points in 3-dimensional space taken from different camera positions are a homography apart. Homographies are at the heart of geometric methods in computer vision and are used in geometric camera calibration, 3D reconstruction, stereo vision and image mosaicking among other tasks. In this paper we show the surprising result that homographies are the apposite tool for relating...
متن کاملAn Efficient Trinocular Rectification Method for Stereo Vision
In this paper, we introduce an efficient method of trinocular rectification to enhance the performance of stereo vision. In order to perform the trinocular rectification, we first obtain trinocular images by three cameras lying on a plane that faces the target objects. Then, we extract the original camera parameters, and compute the new camera parameters that transform the epipole on each image...
متن کاملProjective rectification of image triplets
This paper describes a method for image rectification of a trinocular setup. The rectification method used is an extension of a recent approach based on the fundamental matrix to generate the correcting homographies in the case of a stereo pair. The extended method uses the fact that the triplet of images can be treated as two pairs and that homographies are projections of the different images ...
