Triangulation (computer Vision) - Properties of Triangulation Methods

Properties of Triangulation Methods

A triangulation method can be described in terms of a function such that

where are the homogeneous coordinates of the detected image points and are the camera matrices. x is the homogeneous representation of the resulting 3D point. The sign implies that is only required to produce a vector which is equal to x up to a multiplication by a non-zero scalar since homogeneous vectors are involved.

Before looking at the specific methods, that is, specific functions, there are some general concepts related to the methods that need to be explained. Which triangulation method is chosen for a particular problem depends to some extent on these characteristics.

    A drop of water has the properties of the sea, but cannot exhibit a storm. There is beauty of a concert, as well as of a flute; strength of a host, as well as of a hero.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
