We often state this relationship succinctly as

u∼PX (1.4)

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Parameters

We note that the camera matrix can be factored as

P ⫽ KR [I |⫺ C] (1.5)

The matrix K contains the intrinsic parameters of the camera, while the variables R and

C comprise the extrinsic parameters, specifying its position and orientation in the world

coordinate system. While the intrinsic parameter matrix K in (1.3) was just a diagonal

matrix containing the focal length, a more general camera can be constructed using a K

matrix of the form

K ⫽

⎡

⎣

⎤

⎦

⎡

⎣

fs/m

⎤

⎦

(1.6)

In addition to the focal length of the camera f , this intrinsic parameter matrix includes

and m

, the number of pixels per x and y unit of image coordinates, respectively;

, p

), the coordinates of the principal point of the image; and s, the skew (deviation

from rectangularity) of the pixels. For high-quality cameras, the pixels are usually square,

the skew is typically 0, and the principal point can often be approximated by the image

origin.

A general camera matrix has 11 degrees of freedom (since it is only deﬁned up to a

scale factor). The camera center and the rotation matrix each account for 3 degrees of

freedom, leaving 5 degrees of freedom for the intrinsic parameters.

Extracting Camera Parameters from P

Often, we begin with an estimate of a 3⫻ 4 camera matrix P and want to extract the

intrinsic and extrinsic parameters from it. The homogeneous coordinates of the camera

center C can easily be extracted as the right-hand null vector of P (i.e., a vector satisfying

1.2 Image Formation 7

PC ⫽0). If we denote the left 3⫻3blockofP as M, then we can factor M ⫽KR, where K

is upper triangular and R is orthogonal using a modiﬁed version of the QR decomposition

[4]. Enforcing that K has positive values on its diagonal should remove any ambiguity

about the factorization.

More General Cameras

While the perspective model of projection generally matches the image formation process

of a real camera, an afﬁne model of projection is sometimes more computationally appeal-

ing. Although less mathematically accurate, such an approximation may be acceptable

in cases where the depth of scene points is fairly uniform or the ﬁeld of view is fairly

narrow. Common choices for linear models include orthographic projection, in which

the camera matrix has the form

Finally, we note that real cameras frequently exhibit radial lens distortion, which

can be modeled by

where (x, y) is the result of applying the perspective model (1.4), and L(·) is a function of

the radial distance from the image center, often modeled as a fourth-degree polynomial.

The parameters of the distortion function are typically measured ofﬂine using a calibration

grid [5].

1.2.3 Estimating the Camera Matrix

The P matrix for a given camera is typically estimated based on a set of matched corre-

spondences between image points u

∈R

and scene points X

with known coordinates

. That is, the goal is to select the matrix P ∈R

3⫻4

that best matches a given set of

point mappings:

→u

, j ⫽1,...,N } (1.10)

Each correspondence (u

, X

) produces two independent linear equations in the ele-

ments of P. Thus, the equations for all the data points can be collected into a linear

system Ap ⫽0, where A isa2N⫻12 matrix involving the data, and p ⫽( p

,...,p

)

is the vector of unknowns. Since the camera matrix is unique up to scale, we must ﬁx

some scaling (say, ||p||

⫽1) to ensure that Ap cannot become arbitrarily small.

The least squares minimization problem is then

min Ap

s.t. p

p ⫽1 (1.11)

8 CHAPTER 1 Multi-View Geometry for Camera Networks

The solution to this problem is well known: The minimizer is the eigenvector p∈R

of A

A corresponding to the minimal eigenvalue, which can be computed via the singular

value decomposition. This eigenvector is then reassembled into a 3⫻4 matrix

P, which

can be factored into intrinsic and extrinsic parameters as described earlier.

To maintain numerical stability, it is critical to normalize the data before solving the

estimation problem. That is, each of the sets {u

} and {X

} should be translated to have

zero mean and then isotropically scaled so that the average distance to the origin is

√

for the image points and

√

3 for the scene points. These translations and scalings can

be represented by similarity transform matrices T and U that act on the homogeneous

coordinates of u

and X

. After the camera matrix for the normalized points

P has been

estimated, the estimate of the camera matrix in the original coordinates is given by

P ⫽ T

⫺1

PU (1.12)

Several more advanced algorithms for camera matrix estimation (also called resection-

ing) are discussed in Hartley and Zisserman [6], typically requiring iterative, nonlinear

optimization.

When the data sets contain outliers (i.e., incorrect point correspondences inconsistent

with the underlying projection model), it is necessary to detect and reject them during

the estimation process. Frequently, the robust estimation framework called RANSAC [7]

is employed for this purpose. RANSAC is based on randomly selecting a large number

of data subsets, each containing the minimal number of correspondences that make

the estimation problem solvable. An estimate of outlier probability is used to select a

number of subsets to guarantee that at least one of the minimal subsets has a high

probability of containing all inliers.

The point correspondences required for camera matrix estimation are typically gener-

ated using images of a calibration grid resembling a high-contrast checkerboard. Bouguet

authored a widely disseminated camera calibration toolbox in MATLAB that only requires

the user to print and acquire several images of such a calibration grid [8].

1.3 TWO-CAMERA GEOMETRY

Next, we discuss the image relationships resulting from the same static scene being

imaged by two cameras

C and C



, as illustrated in Figure 1.2. These could be two phys-

ically separate cameras or a single moving camera at different points in time. Let the

scene coordinates of a point X in the

C coordinate system be (X, Y , Z) and, in the C



coordinate system, be (X



, Y



, Z



). We denote the corresponding image coordinates of

X in

P and P



by u⫽(x, y) and u



⫽(x



, y



), respectively. The points u and u



are said to

be corresponding points, and the pair (u, u



) is called a point correspondence.

Assuming standard values for the intrinsic parameters, the scene point X is projected

onto the image points u and u



via the perspective projection equations (1.2):

10 CHAPTER 1 Multi-View Geometry for Camera Networks

1.3.1 Epipolar Geometry and Its Estimation

We now introduce the fundamental matrix, which encapsulates an important constraint

on point correspondences between two images of the same scene. For each generic pair

of cameras (

C, C



), there exists a matrix F of rank 2 such that for all correspondences

(u, u



)⫽((x, y), (x



, y



))∈P⫻



⎡

⎣



⎤

⎦

⎡

⎣

⎤

⎦

⫽0 (1.19)

The fundamental matrix is unique up to scale provided that there exists no quadric surface

Q containing the line CC



and every point in the scene S [9].

Given the fundamental matrix F for a camera pair (

C, C



), we obtain a constraint

on the possible locations of point correspondences between the associated image pair

(

I, I



The epipolar line corresponding to a point u ∈

P is the set of points:

(1.20)

If u is the image of scene point X in P, the image u



of X in P



is constrained to lie on

the epipolar line 

. Epipolar lines for points in P



can be deﬁned accordingly. Hence,

epipolar lines exist in conjugate pairs (, 



), such that the match to a point u∈ must lie

on 



and vice versa. Conjugate epipolar lines are generated by intersecting any plane ⌸

containing the baseline



with the pair of image planes (P, P



) (see Figure 1.3). For

a more thorough review of epipolar geometry, the reader is referred to [10].

The epipoles e ∈

P and e



∈P



are the projections of the camera centers C



and C onto

P and P



, respectively. It can be seen from Figure 1.3 that the epipolar lines in each image

all intersect at the epipole. In fact, the homogeneous coordinates of the epipoles e and e



are the right and left eigenvectors of F, respectively, corresponding to the eigenvalue 0.
