David Millán Escrivá

David Millán Escrivá was 8 years old when he wrote his first program on an 8086 PC in Basic, which enabled the 2D plotting of basic equations. In 2005, he finished his studies in IT with honors, through the Universitat Politécnica de Valencia, in human-computer interaction supported by computer vision with OpenCV (v0.96). He has worked with Blender, an open source, 3D software project, and on its first commercial movie, Plumiferos, as a computer graphics software developer. David has more than 10 years' experience in IT, with experience in computer vision, computer graphics, pattern recognition, and machine learning, working on different projects, and at different start-ups, and companies. He currently works as a researcher in computer vision.

Computing a homography between two images

The second recipe of this chapter showed you how to compute the fundamental matrix of an image pair from a set of matches. In projective geometry, another very useful mathematical entity also exists. This one can be computed from multiview imagery, and, as we will see, is a matrix with special properties.

Getting ready

Again, let's consider the projective relation between a 3D point and its image on a camera, which we introduced in the first recipe of this chapter. Basically, we learned that this equation relates a 3D point with its image using the intrinsic properties of the camera and the position of this camera (specified with a rotation and a translation component). If we...
