Detailed Description

template<class T>
class TRTK::EstimateProjectiveTransformation3D< T >

Estimates a 3D projective transformation from two point sets.

This class estimates a 3D projective transformation between two point sets by using Newton's method. The point sets must have the same cardinality, and the points must correspond to each other. There must be at least five corresponding point pairs.

The algorithm estimates a transformation matrix as shown below:

\[ \begin{pmatrix} y_1 \\ y_2 \\ y_3 \end{pmatrix} = \frac{1}{y'_4} \begin{pmatrix} y'_1 \\ y'_2 \\ y'_3 \end{pmatrix} \quad \wedge \quad \begin{pmatrix} y'_1 \\ y'_2 \\ y'_3 \\ y'_4 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} & a_{14} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} & a_{24} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33} & a_{34} \\ a_{41} & a_{42} & a_{43} & a_{44} \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \\ x_3 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \]

The source points are the set of all \( x \) and the target points are the set of all \( y \).

Note:

To obtain stable estimation results, at least six point pairs should be given.
Some functions might throw an error object. See the appropriate function for more details.
For a more detailed explanation of the algorithm, please have a look at the source code.

Member Function Documentation

template<class T >

void TRTK::EstimateProjectiveTransformation3D< T >::compute ( ) [virtual]

Computes the transformation estimation.

Template Parameters:

T	scalar type of the coordinates

This function uses Newton's method (after Simpson) to estimate the sought transformation matrix entries. For a more detailed explanation of the algorithm, please have a look at the source code. (A link should be below.)

The direction of the transformation is from the source points to the target points: \( p_{target} = \cal{T} \; \{ p_{source} \} \).

Exceptions:

ErrorObj	If the point sets do not have the same cardinality, an error object is thrown and its error code is set to `UNEQUAL_NUMBER_OF_POINTS`.
ErrorObj	If there are not enough points (at least four) to perform the transformation estimation, an error object is thrown and its error code is set to `NOT_ENOUGH_POINTS`.
