Essential Matrix - Determining R and T From E

Determining R and T From E

Given that the essential matrix has been determined for a stereo camera pair, for example, using the estimation method above this information can be used for determining also the rotation and translation (up to a scaling) between the two camera's coordinate systems. In these derivations is seen as a projective element rather than having a well-determined scaling.

The following method for determining and is based on performing a SVD of, see Hartley & Zisserman's book. It is also possible to determine and without an SVD, for example, following Longuet-Higgins' paper.

Famous quotes containing the words from e and/or determining:

    From far, from eve and morning
    And yon twelve-winded sky,
    The stuff of life to knit me
    Blew hither: here am I.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    The true rule, in determining to embrace, or reject any thing, is not whether it have any evil in it; but whether it have more of evil, than of good. There are few things wholly evil, or wholly good.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
