Metric constraints and Euclidean reconstruction

 

In Sect. 3, it became clear that the camera motion and object shape can be recovered up to an unknown affine or projective transformation only from the images of the object points. In this section, we will show that this reconstruction can be upgraded to Euclidean one if the camera intrinsic parameters are available. Here, orthogonality of the rotation matrix representing orientation of the camera plays an important role.
