Class EssentialNister5

java.lang.Object

boofcv.alg.geo.f.EssentialNister5

public class EssentialNister5
extends java.lang.Object

Finds the essential matrix given exactly 5 corresponding points. The approach is described in details in [1] and works by linearlizing the problem then solving for the roots in a polynomial. It is considered one of the fastest and most stable solutions for the 5-point problem.

THIS IMPLEMENTATION DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL THE OPTIMIZATIONS OUTLIED IN [1]. A full implementation is quite involved. Example: SVD instead of the proposed QR factorization.

NOTE: This solution could be generalized for an arbitrary number of points. However, it would complicate the algorithm even more and isn't considered to be worth the effort.
