CHAPTER 10
3D Geometry and Stereo Vision
This chapter introduces you to the exciting world of the geometry involved behind computer vision using single and multiple cameras. Knowledge of this geometry will enable you to translate image coordinates into actual 3D world coordinates—in short, you will be able to relate position in your images to well-defined physical positions in the world.
The chapter is divided into two main sections—single cameras and stereo (two) cameras. For each section, we will first discuss the associated mathematical concepts and then delve into OpenCV implementations of that math. The section on stereo cameras is especially ...
