Equivalence of Two Expressions of Principal Line

원문 초록

Geometry-based camera calibration using principal line is more precise and robust than calibration using optimization approaches; therefore, several researches try to re-derive the principal line from different views of 2D projective geometry to increase alternatives of the calibration process. In this report, algebraical equivalence of two expressions of principal line, one derived w.r.t homography and the other using for two sets of orthogonal vanishing points, is proved. Moreover, the extension of the second expression to incorporate infinite vanishing point is carried out with simple mathematics.
