Detailed Description

Class that defines a line in the object frame, the camera frame and the image plane. All the parameters must be set in meter.

Object and camera frame parametrization:: In the 3D frames, the object frame parameters (oP) and the camera frame parameters (cP), the line is defined as the intersection between two plans. Thus, the parameters which define the line are the parameters which define the two equations of the two plans. Each point which belongs to the line is a solution of those two equations:

$A1 X + B1 Y + C1 Z +D1 = 0$

$A2 X + B2 Y + C2 Z +D2 = 0$

Here

are the 3D coordinates in one of the two 3D frames.

: In this class it is easily possible to compute the parameters (cP) of the line in the camera frame thanks to its parameters (oP) in the object frame. But you have to notes that four constraints are added in the planes equations.

$D1 = 0$

$D2 > 0$

$A1 A2 + B1 B2 + C1 C2 = 0$

$|| A2 || = 1$

: The line parameters oP corresponding to the object frame are located in the vpForwardProjection::oP public attribute, where oP is a vector defined as:
$oP = \left[\begin{array}{c}A1_o \\ B1_o \\ C1_o \\ D1_o \\ A2_o \\ B2_o \\ C2_o \\ D2_o \end{array}\right]$

: The line parameters corresponding to the camera frame are located in the vpTracker::cP public attribute, where cP is a vector defined as:
$cP = \left[\begin{array}{c}A1_c \\ B1_c \\ C1_c \\ D1_c \\ A2_c \\ B2_c \\ C2_c \\ D2_c \end{array}\right]$

Image plane parametrization:: In the image plane, the line is defined thanks to its 2D equation.
$x \; cos(\theta) + y \; sin(\theta) -\rho = 0$
Here and are the coordinates of a point belonging to the line in the image plane while $\rho$ and $\theta$ are the parameters used to define the line. The value of $\theta$ is between $-\pi/2$ and $\pi/2$ and the value of $\rho$ can be positive or negative. The conventions used to choose the sign of $\rho$ and the value of $\theta$ are illustrated by the following image.

: The line parameters corresponding to the image frame are located in the vpTracker::p public attribute, where p is a vector defined as:
$p = \left[\begin{array}{c} \rho \\ \theta \end{array}\right]$

Member Function Documentation

void vpLine::changeFrame	(	const vpHomogeneousMatrix &	cMo,
		vpColVector &	cP_
	)

virtual

Computes the line parameters cP in the camera frame thanks to the line parameters oP given in the object frame and the homogeneous matrix relative to the pose between the camera frame and the object frame. Thus the computation gives the equations of the two planes needed to define the line in the desired frame thanks to the equations of the same two planes in the object frame.

In input of this method, the line parameters oP in the object frame are those from the vpForwardProjection::oP public attribute.

Parameters

cMo	: The homogeneous matrix relative to the pose between the desired frame and the object frame.
cP_	: The vector which will contain the parameters of the two planes in the camera frame. $cP = \left[\begin{array}{c}A1 \\ B1 \\ C1 \\ D1 \\ A2 \\ B2 \\ C2 \\ D2 \end{array}\right]$

The code below shows how to use this method.

//Create the line
vpLine line;
//Set the coordinates of the line in the object frame in meter.
line.setWorldCoordinates( 1, 0, 0, -0.5, 0, 0, 1, 0.5)
//The line is define by the intersection between the plane X = 0.5m and Z = 0.5m
//Create the homogeneous matrix
vpHomogeneousMatrix cMo;
//Computes or set here the homogeneous matrix
//Creates the vector which will contain the line features
vpColVector cP(8);
//Computes the equations of the two planes in the camera frame
line.changeFrame(cMo, cP);

void vpLine::changeFrame ( const vpHomogeneousMatrix & cMo )

virtual

Computes the line parameters cP in the camera frame thanks to the line parameters oP given in the object frame and the homogeneous matrix relative to the pose cMo between the object frame and the camera frame. Thus the computation gives the equations of the two planes needed to define the line in the camera frame thanks to the equations of the same two planes in the object frame.

In input of this method, the line parameters oP in the object frame are those from the vpForwardProjection::oP public attribute.

As a result of this method, line parameters cP in the camera frame are updated in the vpTracker::cP public attribute.

Parameters

cMo	: The homogeneous matrix corresponding to the pose between the camera frame and the object frame.

The code below shows how to use this method.

//Create the line
vpLine line;
//Set the coordinates of the line in the object frame in meter.
line.setWorldCoordinates( 1, 0, 0, -0.5, 0, 0, 1, 0.5)
//The line is define by the intersection between the plane X = 0.5m and Z = 0.5m
//Create the homogeneous matrix
vpHomogeneousMatrix cMo;
//Computes or set here the homogeneous matrix
//Computes the equations of the two planes in the camera frame
