essential_to_fundamental_matrix (Operator)
essential_to_fundamental_matrix
— Compute the fundamental matrix from an essential matrix.
Signature
Description
The fundamental matrix is the entity describing the epipolar constraint
in image coordinates (C,R) and the essential matrix is its counterpart
for 3D direction vectors (X,Y,1):
Image coordinates result from 3D direction vectors by
multiplication with the camera matrix CamMat:
Therefore, the fundamental matrix FMatrix
is calculated from the
essential matrix EMatrix
and the camera matrices CamMat1
,
CamMat2
by the following formula:
The transformation of the essential matrix to the fundamental matrix
goes along with the propagation of the covariance matrices CovEMat
to CovFMat
. If CovEMat
is empty CovFMat
will be
empty too.
The conversion operator essential_to_fundamental_matrix
is used
especially for a subsequent visualization of the epipolar line structure
via the fundamental matrix, which depicts the underlying stereo geometry.
