چکیده

This paper gives a new method for image rectification, the process of resampling pairs of stereo images taken from widely differing viewpoints in order to produce a pair of “matched epipolar projections”. These are projections in which the epipolar lines run parallel with the x-axis and consequently, disparities between the images are in the x-direction only. The method is based on an examination of the essential matrix of Longuet-Higgins which describes the epipolar geometry of the image pair. The approach taken is consistent with that recently advocated strongly by Faugeras ([1]) of avoiding camera calibration. The paper uses methods of projective geometry to define a matrix called the “epipolar transformation matrix” used to determine a pair of 2D projective transforms to be applied to the two images in order to match the epipolar lines. The advantages include the simplicity of the 2D projective transformation which allows very fast resampling as well as subsequent simplification in the identification of matched points and scene reconstruction. The research described in this paper has been supported by DARPA Contract #MDA97291-C-0053

Parallel Projections for Stereo Reconstruction

This paper proposes a novel technique to computing geometric information from images captured under parallel projections. Parallel images are desirable for stereo reconstruction because parallel projection significantly reduces foreshortening. As a result, correlation based matching becomes more effective. Since parallel projection cameras are not commonly available, we construct parallel image...

Bayesian Epipolar Geometry Estimation from Tomographic Projections

In this paper, we first show that the affine epipolar geometry can be estimated by identifying the common 1D projection from a pair of tomographic parallel projection images and the 1D affine transform between the common 1D projections. To our knowledge, the link between the common 1D projections and the affine epipolar geometry has been unknown previously; and in contrast to the traditional me...

Epipolar line extraction using feature matching

Knowledge of the epipolar lines is of utmost importance in stereo vision since they describe the geometrical relationship between the world points and their projections on the imaging sensors. In this paper we propose a two-phase method to solve the epipolar geometry. Firstly, we extract the corners from a stereo pair and their correspondences are determined by imposing a number of matching con...

Affine Epipolar Direction from Two Views of a Planar Contour

Most approaches to camera motion estimation from image sequences require matching the projections of at least 4 non-coplanar points in the scene. The case of points lying on a plane has only recently been addressed, using mainly projective cameras. We here study what can be recovered from two uncalibrated views of a planar contour under affine viewing conditions. We prove that the affine epipol...
