8. 1234 1 2 3 4 Measurements on Planes Approach: unwarp then measure

9. Planar Projective Transformations Perspective projection of a plane lots of names for this: –homography, texture-map, colineation, planar projective map Easily modeled using homogeneous coordinates Hpp’ To apply a homography H compute p’ = Hp p’’ = p’/s normalize by dividing by third component

10. Image Rectification To unwarp (rectify) an image solve for H given p’’ and p solve equations of the form: sp’’ = Hp –linear in unknowns: s and coefficients of H –need at least 4 points

11. (0,0,0) The Projective Plane Why do we need homogeneous coordinates? represent points at infinity, homographies, perspective projection, multi-view relationships What is the geometric intuition? a point in the image is a ray in projective space (sx,sy,s) Each point (x,y) on the plane is represented by a ray (sx,sy,s) –all points on the ray are equivalent: (x, y, 1)  (sx, sy, s) image plane (x,y,1) y x z

12. Projective Lines What is a line in projective space? A line is a plane of rays through origin all rays (x,y,z) satisfying: ax + by + cz = 0 A line is also represented as a homogeneous 3-vector l lp

13. l Point and Line Duality A line l is a homogeneous 3-vector (a ray) It is  to every point (ray) p on the line: l p=0 p1p1 p2p2 What is the intersection of two lines l 1 and l 2 ? p is  to l 1 and l 2  p = l 1  l 2 Points and lines are dual in projective space every property of points also applies to lines l1l1 l2l2 p What is the line l spanned by rays p 1 and p 2 ? l is  to p 1 and p 2  l = p 1  p 2 l is the plane normal

14. Ideal points and lines Ideal point (“point at infinity”) p  (x, y, 0) – parallel to image plane It has infinite image coordinates (sx,sy,0) y x z image plane Ideal line l  (a, b, 0) – parallel to image plane Corresponds to a line in the image (finite coordinates) (sx,sy,0) y x z image plane

15. Homographies of Points and Lines Computed by 3x3 matrix multiplication To transform a point: p’ = Hp To transform a line: lp=0  l’p’=0 –0 = lp = lH -1 Hp = lH -1 p’  l’ = lH -1 –lines are transformed by premultiplication of H -1

16. 3D Projective Geometry These concepts generalize naturally to 3D Homogeneous coordinates –Projective 3D points have four coords: P = (X,Y,Z,W) Duality –A plane L is also represented by a 4-vector –Points and planes are dual in 3D: L P=0 Projective transformations –Represented by 4x4 matrices T: P’ = TP, L’ = L T -1 However Can’t use cross-products in 4D. We need new tools –Grassman-Cayley Algebra »generalization of cross product, allows interactions between points, lines, and planes via “meet” and “join” operators –Won’t get into this stuff today

20. Preliminaries--Projective Geometry Vanishing Points Points at Infinity Vanishing Lines The Cross-Ratio

21. Vanishing Points Vanishing point projection of a point at infinity image plane camera center ground plane vanishing point

22. Vanishing Points (2D) image plane camera center line on ground plane vanishing point

23. Vanishing Points Properties Any two parallel lines have the same vanishing point The ray from C through v point is parallel to the lines An image may have more than one vanishing point image plane camera center C line on ground plane vanishing point V line on ground plane

24. Vanishing Lines Multiple Vanishing Points Any set of parallel lines on the plane define a vanishing point The union of all of these vanishing points is the horizon line –called vanishing line in the Criminisi paper Note that different planes define different vanishing lines v1v1 v2v2

25. Vanishing Lines Multiple Vanishing Points Any set of parallel lines on the plane define a vanishing point The union of all of these vanishing points is the horizon line –called vanishing line in the Criminisi paper Note that different planes define different vanishing lines

26. Computing Vanishing Points Properties P  is a point at infinity, v is its projection They depend only on line direction Parallel lines P 0 + tD, P 1 + tD intersect at X  V P0P0 D

27. Computing Vanishing Lines Properties l is intersection of horizontal plane through C with image plane Compute l from two sets of parallel lines on ground plane All points at same height as C project to l Provides way of comparing height of objects in the scene ground plane l C

35. C Measuring Height Without a Ruler ground plane Compute Y from image measurements Need more than vanishing points to do this Y

36. The Cross Ratio A Projective Invariant Something that does not change under projective transformations (including perspective projection) P1P1 P2P2 P3P3 P4P4 The Cross-Ratio of 4 Collinear Points Can permute the point ordering 4! = 24 different orders (but only 6 distinct values) This is the fundamental invariant of projective geometry likely that all other invariants derived from cross-ratio

38. Eliminating  and  yields Can calculate  given a known height in scene t C Measuring Height reference plane Algebraic Derivation b Y

39. So Far Can measure Positions within a plane Height –More generally—distance between any two parallel planes These capabilities provide sufficient tools for single-view modeling To do: Compute camera projection matrix

40. C Measurements Within Reference Plane Planar Perspective Map (homography) H H Maps reference plane X-Y coords to image plane u-v coords Fully determined from 4 known points on ground plane –Option A: physically measure 4 points on ground –Option B: find a square, guess the size –Option C: Note H = [av X bv Y l] (columns 1,2,4 of  ) »play with scale factors a and b until the model “looks right” Given u-v, can find X-Y by H -1 reference plane

41. C Measurements Within Parallel Plane Planar Perspective Map (homography) H Z H Z Maps X-Y-Z coords to image plane u-v coords reference plane Z Given u-v, can find X-Y by H Z -1 Another way is to first map parallel plane to reference plane: –parallel planes related by a homology (5 parameter homography) –Ĥ = H Z H -1 = I +  Z v Z T l –maps u-v coords on parallel plane to u-v coords on ref. plane

42. Vanishing Points and Projection Matrix Not So Fast! We only know v’s up to a scale factor Can fully specify by providing 3 reference lengths = v x (X vanishing point)

43. Single View Metrology A. Criminisi, I. Reid and A. Zisserman (ICCV 99) Make scene measurements from a single image Application: 3D from a single image Assumptions 1 3 orthogonal sets of parallel lines 2 4 known points on ground plane 3 1 height in the scene Can still get an affine reconstruction without 2 and 3

44. Criminisi et al., ICCV 99 Complete approach Load in an image Click on parallel lines defining X, Y, and Z directions Compute vanishing points Specify points on reference plane, ref. height Compute 3D positions of several points Create a 3D model from these points Extract texture maps Output a VRML model
