Class RectifyFundamental

java.lang.Object

boofcv.alg.geo.rectify.RectifyFundamental

public class RectifyFundamental
extends java.lang.Object

Rectifies a stereo pair given a fundamental or essential matrix. The rectification ensures that the epipolar lines project to infinity along the x-axis. The computed transforms are designed to minimize the range of disparity between the two images. For this technique to work the epipoles must lie outside of both images. See [1] for algorithmic details.

WARNING: On paper this technique sounds straight forward. In practice it requires a very precise fundamental matrix estimate to be of practical use. Using the epipolar constraint alone is not sufficient to remove outliers because a point far away that lands on the epipolar line will have a small error. Removing lens distortion from the image is recommended.
