METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING EPIPOLAR GEOMETRY

Abstract

A method for estimating epipolar geometry and to be performed by a processing module includes the steps of: A) choosing, in each first and third images captured by a first image capturing module, two points which are collinear with a corresponding one of a first reference object in the first image and a second reference object in the third image, such that in each second and fourth images captured by a second image capturing module, two points corresponding to the two points chosen in a respective one of the first and third images are collinear with a corresponding one of the first reference object in the second image and the second reference object in the fourth image; and B) determining first and second epipoles based on the aforementioned points.
