Quasi-Euclidean epipolar rectification of uncalibrated images

This paper deals with the problem of epipolar rectification in the uncalibrated case. First the calibrated (Euclidean) case is recognized as the ideal one, then we observe that in that case images are transformed with a collineation induced by the plane at infinity, which has a special structure. Hence, that structure is imposed to the sought transformation while minimizing a rectification error. Experiments show that this method yields images that are close to the ones produced by Euclidean rectification.
