Solving for the rectifying PPM

We organise the constraints introduced in the previous section in the following four systems:

eqnarray597

Plus

equation661

The first four systems have all the same structure, each one being a tex2html_wrap_inline1273 linear homogeneous system subject to a quadratic constraint, that is,

equation674

where tex2html_wrap_inline1275 is a vector composed by the the first three components of x, and k is a real number.

The four systems above are solved in sequence, top to bottom. The solution of each system is obtained by first computing (for example by SVD factorisation [7]) a one-parameter family of solutions to tex2html_wrap_inline1279 of the form tex2html_wrap_inline1281 , where tex2html_wrap_inline1283 is a nontrivial solution and tex2html_wrap_inline1161 is an arbitrary real number, and then letting tex2html_wrap_inline1287 .
