Overall view regarding fundamental matrix estimation

Epipolar geometry is a key point in computer vision and the fundamental matrix estimation is the only way to compute it. This article is a fresh look in the subject that overview classic and latest presented methods of fundamental matrix estimation which have been classified into linear methods, iterative methods and robust methods. All of these methods have been programmed and their accuracy analyzed in synthetic and real images. A summary including experimental results and algorithmic details is given and the whole code is available in Internet. q 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
