Trifocal Tensor - Trilinear Constraints

Trilinear Constraints

One of the most important properties of the trifocal tensor is that it gives rise to linear relationships between lines and points in three images. More specifically, for triplets of corresponding points and any corresponding lines through them, the following trilinear constraints hold:

$({\mathbf l}^{'t} \left {\mathbf l}^{''}) _{\times} = {\mathbf 0}^t$

${\mathbf l}^{'t} \left( \sum_i x_i {\mathbf T}_i \right) {\mathbf l}^{''} = 0$

${\mathbf l}^{'t} \left( \sum_i x_i {\mathbf T}_i \right) _{\times} = {\mathbf 0}^t$

$_{\times} \left( \sum_i x_i {\mathbf T}_i \right) {\mathbf l}^{''} = {\mathbf 0}$

$_{\times} \left( \sum_i x_i {\mathbf T}_i \right) _{\times} = {\mathbf 0}_{3 \times 3}$

where denotes the skew-symmetric cross product matrix.

Famous quotes containing the word constraints:

“Play is a major avenue for learning to manage anxiety. It gives the child a safe space where she can experiment at will, suspending the rules and constraints of physical and social reality. In play, the child becomes master rather than subject.... Play allows the child to transcend passivity and to become the active doer of what happens around her.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
