Description

vector_to_proj_hom_mat2d_distortionvector_to_proj_hom_mat2d_distortionVectorToProjHomMat2dDistortionVectorToProjHomMat2dDistortionVectorToProjHomMat2dDistortion determines the projective transformation matrix HomMat2DHomMat2DHomMat2DHomMat2DhomMat2D and the radial distortion coefficient KappaKappaKappaKappakappa from given point correspondences (Points1RowPoints1RowPoints1RowPoints1Rowpoints1Row,Points1ColPoints1ColPoints1ColPoints1Colpoints1Col), (Points2RowPoints2RowPoints2RowPoints2Rowpoints2Row,Points2ColPoints2ColPoints2ColPoints2Colpoints2Col) that optimally fulfill the following equation: Here, and denote image points that are obtained by undistorting the input image points with the division model (see Calibration): Here, denote the distorted image points, specified relative to the image center. Thus, vector_to_proj_hom_mat2d_distortionvector_to_proj_hom_mat2d_distortionVectorToProjHomMat2dDistortionVectorToProjHomMat2dDistortionVectorToProjHomMat2dDistortion assumes that the principal point of the camera, i.e., the center of the radial distortions, lies at the center of the image. Note that the images from which the points (Points1RowPoints1RowPoints1RowPoints1Rowpoints1Row,Points1ColPoints1ColPoints1ColPoints1Colpoints1Col) and (Points2RowPoints2RowPoints2RowPoints2Rowpoints2Row,Points2ColPoints2ColPoints2ColPoints2Colpoints2Col) are extracted have to be obtained with the same camera.

The returned KappaKappaKappaKappakappa can be used to construct camera parameters that can be used to rectify images or points (see change_radial_distortion_cam_parchange_radial_distortion_cam_parChangeRadialDistortionCamParChangeRadialDistortionCamParChangeRadialDistortionCamPar, change_radial_distortion_imagechange_radial_distortion_imageChangeRadialDistortionImageChangeRadialDistortionImageChangeRadialDistortionImage, and change_radial_distortion_pointschange_radial_distortion_pointsChangeRadialDistortionPointsChangeRadialDistortionPointsChangeRadialDistortionPoints):

The minimum number of required point correspondences is five. vector_to_proj_hom_mat2d_distortionvector_to_proj_hom_mat2d_distortionVectorToProjHomMat2dDistortionVectorToProjHomMat2dDistortionVectorToProjHomMat2dDistortion seeks to minimize the transformation error between the point correspondences based on the above equations. To achieve such a minimization, two different algorithms are available. The algorithm to use can be chosen using the parameter MethodMethodMethodMethodmethod. For MethodMethodMethodMethodmethod = 'linear'"linear""linear""linear""linear", a linear algorithm that minimizes an algebraic error based on the above equations is used. This algorithm is very fast and returns accurate results for small to moderate noise of the point coordinates and for most distortions (except for small distortions). For MethodMethodMethodMethodmethod = 'gold_standard'"gold_standard""gold_standard""gold_standard""gold_standard", a mathematically optimal but slower optimization is used, which minimizes the geometric reprojection error. In general, it is preferable to use MethodMethodMethodMethodmethod = 'gold_standard'"gold_standard""gold_standard""gold_standard""gold_standard".

If 'gold_standard'"gold_standard""gold_standard""gold_standard""gold_standard" is used, the covariances of the image points (CovRR1CovRR1CovRR1CovRR1covRR1, CovRC1CovRC1CovRC1CovRC1covRC1, CovCC1CovCC1CovCC1CovCC1covCC1, CovRR2CovRR2CovRR2CovRR2covRR2, CovRC2CovRC2CovRC2CovRC2covRC2, CovCC2CovCC2CovCC2CovCC2covCC2) can be incorporated into the computation. They can be provided, for example, by the operator points_foerstnerpoints_foerstnerPointsFoerstnerPointsFoerstnerPointsFoerstner. If the point covariances are unknown, which is the default, empty tuples are passed. In this case, the optimization algorithm internally assumes uniform and equal covariances for all points. If 'linear'"linear""linear""linear""linear" is used, the covariances are ignored and the covariance parameters can be left empty.

The value ErrorErrorErrorErrorerror indicates the overall quality of the optimization procedure and is the mean symmetric euclidean distance in pixels between the points and their corresponding transformed points.

If the correspondence between the points has not been determined, proj_match_points_distortion_ransacproj_match_points_distortion_ransacProjMatchPointsDistortionRansacProjMatchPointsDistortionRansacProjMatchPointsDistortionRansac or proj_match_points_distortion_ransac_guidedproj_match_points_distortion_ransac_guidedProjMatchPointsDistortionRansacGuidedProjMatchPointsDistortionRansacGuidedProjMatchPointsDistortionRansacGuided should be used to determine the correspondence as well as the transformation.

Attention

It should be noted that if a homogeneous transformation matrix is used to transform images, regions, XLD contours, or any other data that has been extracted from images, it is assumed that the origin of the coordinate system of the homogeneous transformation matrix lies in the upper left corner of a pixel. The image processing operators that return point coordinates, however, assume a coordinate system in which the origin lies in the center of a pixel. Therefore, to obtain a consistent homogeneous transformation matrix, 0.5 must be added to the point coordinates before computing the transformation.
