estimation of the ground plane in pinhole camera model












0















I am trying to understand the pinhole camera model and the geometry behind some computer vision and camera calibration stuff that I am looking at.



So, if I understand correctly, the pinhole camera model maps the pixel coordinates to 3D real world coordinates. So, the model looks as:



y = K [R|T]x


Here y is pixel coordinates in homogeneous coordinates, R|T represent the extrinsic transformation matrix and x is the 3D world coordinates also in homogeneous coordinates.



Now, I am looking at a presentation which says




project the center of the focus region onto the ground plane using [R|T]




Now the center of the focus region is just taken to be the center of the image. I am not sure how I can estimate the ground plane? Assuming, the point to be projected is in input space, the projection should that be computed by inverting the [R|T] matrix and multiplying that point by the inverted matrix?

    Signal Processing might be the place for computer vision questions of general and mathematical nature, dsp.stackexchange.com S.O. is fine if it's coding details, API technicalities, compiling, etc.

  • @NicoSchertler Yes, I have added a link to the presentation which I was using. It is basically, after I get the calibration matrix, to project some fixed point onto the ground plane.

  • That approach assumes that you know where the ground plane is or at least that it can be inferred from the image. Nothing that a bare pinhole camera model gives you.
