\begin_layout Chapter
Intro
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
An introduction to the principal ideas.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Projective geometry
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Straightness is preserved, the most general requirement on the mapping.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In Euclidean space, parallel lines do not meet.
By adding an infinity point to a Euclidean space, projective space is introduce
d, an extension of Euclidean space in which two lines always meet in a point.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Points are represented by
\emph on
equivalence classes
\emph default
of coordinate triples, where two triples are equivalent when they differ
by a common multiple, called
\emph on
homogeneous coordinates.
\emph default
Given a point
\begin_inset Formula $\left(x,y,0\right)$
\end_inset
, divide by the last coordinate,
\begin_inset Formula $\left(x/0,y/0\right)$
\end_inset
is the point at infinity.
The Euclidean space
\begin_inset Formula $\mathbb{R}^{n}$
\end_inset
can be extended to a project space
\begin_inset Formula $\mathbb{P}^{n}$
\end_inset
by representing poitns at homogenous vectors.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Homogeneity
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In classiclal Euclidean geometry all points are the same, no distringuished
point.
From the point of view of projective geometry, points at infinity are not
any different from other points.
By analogy of
\begin_inset CommandInset href
LatexCommand href
name "Euclidean transformation"
target "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_transformation"
\end_inset
, a projective transformation of projective space
\begin_inset Formula $\mathbb{P}^{n}$
\end_inset
is defined by a linear transformation of homogeneous coordinates
\begin_inset Formula
\[
X^{'}=H_{\left(n+1\right)\times\left(n+1\right)}X.
\]
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In CV problems, projective space is used as convenient way of repressenting
the real 3D world.
In reality, the real world and images of it do not contain points at infinity.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Affine geometry
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Parallelism is not a concept of projective geometry, since all lines in
projective space meet at some point.
Parallel lines are just lines that intersect at points at infinity.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The geometry of the projective plane and a distinguished line is known as
\emph on
affine geometry
\emph default
and any projective transformation that maps the distringuished line in
one space to the distinguished line of the other space is known as an
\emph on
affine transformation
\emph default
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Euclidean geometry
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Singling out some special feature of the line or plane at infinity affine
geometry becomes Euclidean geometry.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Camera Projections
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The usual way of modelling the drop from 3D world to a 2D image is by
\emph on
central projection
\emph default
in which a ray from a point in space is drawn from a 3D world point through
a fixed point in space, called the
\emph on
center of project
\emph default
.
All rays intersect a specific plane in space chosen as the
\emph on
image plane
\emph default
.
Central projection is simply a map from
\begin_inset Formula $\mathbb{P}^{3}$
\end_inset
to
\begin_inset Formula $\mathbb{P}^{2}$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
All points in a ray passing through the center of projection project to
the same point in an image.
Thus, the set of all image points is the same as the set of rays through
the camera center.
The set of rays themselves may be thought of as a representation of the
image space
\begin_inset Formula $\mathbb{P}^{2}$
\end_inset
.
All that is important is the camera center.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Part
Projective Geometry, Transformations and Estimation
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The ideas of notation of projective geometry are central to an analysis
of multiple view geometry.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Chapter
Projective Geometry and Transformations of 2D
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The main geometric ideas and notation that are required to understand the
main material.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A significant advantage of the algebraic approach to geometry is that results
derived in this way may more easily be used to derive algorithms and practical
computational methods.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Homogeneous representation of points and lines on a plane
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard

\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Lines
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Since
\begin_inset Formula $ax+by+c=0$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula $kax+kby+kc=0$
\end_inset
are the same line, any particular

Conics and dual conics
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In 2D projective geometry, all non-degenerate conics are equivalent under
projective transformations.
The homogeneous form of a conic can be obtained by replacing
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula $y$
\end_inset
with
\begin_inset Formula $x_{1}/x_{3}$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula $x_{2}/x_{3}$
\end_inset
, resulting in
\begin_inset Formula
\[
\boldsymbol{x}^{T}C\boldsymbol{x}=0
\]
\end_inset
where the conic coefficient matrix
\begin_inset Formula $C$
\end_inset
is given by
\begin_inset Formula
\[
C=\begin{bmatrix}a & b/2 & d/2\\
b/2 & c & e/2\\
d/2 & e/2 & f
\end{bmatrix}.
\]
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The conic
\begin_inset Formula $C$
\end_inset
is more properly termed a
\emph on

\emph default
conic, a sit defines an equation on points.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The conic has five degrees of freedom
\begin_inset Formula $\left\{ a\colon b\colon c\colon d\colon e\colon f\right\} $
\end_inset

The line

\begin_inset Formula $C$
\end_inset
at a point
\begin_inset Formula $\boldsymbol{x}$
\end_inset
is given by
\begin_inset Formula $\boldsymbol{l}=C\boldsymbol{x}$
\end_inset

\end_layout
\begin_layout Proof
The line passes through
\begin_inset Formula $\boldsymbol{x}$
\end_inset

\begin_inset Formula
\[
l^{T}x=x^{T}Cx=0.
\]
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Proof
If
\begin_inset Formula $l$
\end_inset
has one point contact with the conic, then we are done with the proof.
Otherwise it meets the conic at another point
\begin_inset Formula $y$
\end_inset

Then
\begin_inset Formula $y^{T}Cy=0$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula $x^{T}Cy=l^{T}y=0.$

Then
\begin_inset Formula
\[
\left(x+\alpha y\right)^{T}C\left(x+\alpha y\right)=0\quad\text{for all }\alpha.
\]
\end_inset
which means the whole line
\begin_inset Formula $l$
\end_inset
lies on the conic
\begin_inset Formula $C$
\end_inset
, which is degenerate.

A mapping

s.t.
for any point in

\end_inset
represented by a vector
\begin_inset Formula $\vec{x}$

it is true that
\begin_inset Formula $h\left(\vec{x}\right)=H\vec{x}$
\end_inset

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Any invertible linear transformation of homogeneous coordinates is a projectivit

\end_layout
\begin_layout Proof
Let
\begin_inset Formula $x_{1}$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula $x_{2}$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula $x_{3}$
\end_inset
lie on a line
\begin_inset Formula $l$
\end_inset

Thus
\begin_inset Formula $l^{T}x_{i}=0$
\end_inset
for
\begin_inset Formula $i=1,2,3$
\end_inset

Let
\begin_inset Formula $H$

be a non-singular
\begin_inset Formula $3\times3$
\end_inset

\begin_inset Formula $l^{T}H^{-1}Hx_{i}=0$
\end_inset

Thus the points
\begin_inset Formula $Hx_{i}$
\end_inset
all lie on the line
\begin_inset Formula $H^{-1}l$
\end_inset

Note that the matrix
