....between two images. This number is expected to give a finite number of solutions, since the epipolar transformation is precisely defined by seven parameters. In Faugeras and Maybank [3] have traced the problem back to Chasles [1] It has been solved by Hesse [8] and nicely summarized by Sturm [24]. The following algebraic formulation of this method was presented by Maybank and Faugeras [18] where more details can be found. Four points: Four points yield a fourth degree polynomial constraint on the coordinates of the epipoles e, e 0 of the two images. Let q i q 0 i ; 1 i 4 be ....

....This is enough to determine the camera calibration uniquely. 3 Computing the Epipoles Two different methods for computing the epipoles are described. 3. 1 Sturm s Method The epipoles and the epipolar transformations can be computed by a method due to Hesse [6] and nicely summarized by Sturm in [10]. Sturm s method yields the epipoles compatible with seven image correspondences. Let q i q 0 i , 1 i n, be a set of image correspondences. Then p, p 0 are possible epipoles if and only if hp; q i i hp 0 ; q 0 i i 1 i n (10) The pencil of lines through p is parameterised by the ....

....of the matrix F (i.e. rank(F) 2) lead to epipolar geometry estimation. A fundamental matrix F has only 7 degrees of freedom [99] Therefore, 7 matches should have been enough to get a unique solution. But as a matter of fact, it has been shown that there may be three solutions given 7 matches [108]. So, to get a unique solution for the fundamental matrix, we need at least 8 matches of point of interest. Given 8 or more matches, from Eqn.7, we can write down a set of linear equations in the 9 unknown elements of matrix F. In general, We will be able to determine a unique solution for F, de ....

....image noise, selection of the triplets of images and distance between viewing positions are studied both through real and simulated images. Applications of these invariants are also presented. Both the results of Faugeras [1] and Hartley et al. 2] for projective reconstruction and Sturm s method [3] for epipolar geometry determination from two uncalibrated images with at least seven points are extended to the case of three uncalibrated images with only six points. Keywords invariant, projective reconstruction, epipolar geometry, uncalibrated images, projective geometry, self calibration. ....

....in [9] 11] 18] However all these approaches using only two images are essentially based on the a priori determination of the epipolar geometry of the two images. The epipolar geometry may be algebraically determined, up to three solutions, with a minimum of seven points by Sturm s method [3], 19] or other equivalent algebraic methods based on the matrix representation of the epipolar geometry [23] 19] However, Sturm s method is numerically unstable [20] When more than eight points are available, numerical minimization methods are used to determine it. Therefore, to compute the ....

....and the epipolar lines in the second image is a homography of lines. This homography is the epipolar transformation which relates a pair of stereo images. The first method to compute the epipolar geometry from point matches was proposed by Hesse[8] and later clarified and summarised by Sturm [19]. The latter proposes an algorithm to compute the epipoles and the epipolar transformation compatible with 7 matched points in a general configuration. This algorithm is based on the fundamental homography invariant, the cross ratio of four lines. In each image, the 7 points with the unknown ....

....by a non linear one using equation (12) to ensure the use of a minimal number of parameters. 4.3 Number of solutions with 7 matched points In this paragraph we will show that 3 solutions for the epipole are compatible with 7 matched points in 2 images. This result was established by Sturm [19], however the proof given here is must simpler. Suppose we have 7 couples of matched points between the first and the second image, 3 of them are used to simplify the expressions of the plane homography and the remaining 4 couples are used to solve for the 4 independent unknowns of equation (12) ....
