5.3 Method

The algorithm considers all possible pairwise combinations of matched lines. If the intersection of the matched lines is in the image, then the intersection point is tested to see if it obeys the epipolar constraint. If so, then these two lines are used to compute the plane normal (3 DOF) for the surface. If the two projection matrices are tex2html_wrap_inline547 and tex2html_wrap_inline549 , and the plane is represented by tex2html_wrap_inline551 , and p and p' are points in the two images, then the linear solution to the plane equation is given by:
