Study Notes
Epipolar Geometry
- At least 8 point correspondences are needed to estimate the fundamental matrix.
Epipolar Constraint
- The equation $x' ^T Fx = 0$ represents the epipolar constraint in epipolar geometry, where $x$ and $x'$ are corresponding points in two images.
History of the Term
- The term 'fundamental matrix' was coined by Quentin Longuet-Higgins.
Fundamental Matrix vs Essential Matrix
- The essential difference between the fundamental matrix and the essential matrix is that the fundamental matrix is used for uncalibrated cameras, whereas the essential matrix is used for calibrated cameras.
Properties of the Fundamental Matrix
- The fundamental matrix is described as a 3x3 tensor of rank 2.
