What is inverse perspective mapping?

1. A procedure which allows for perspective effect to be removed from an image by homogeneously redistributing the information content of the image plane into a new two-dimensional domain.

How to calculate homography matrix in OpenCV?

How to calculate a Homography ? To calculate a homography between two images, you need to know at least 4 point correspondences between the two images. If you have more than 4 corresponding points, it is even better. OpenCV will robustly estimate a homography that best fits all corresponding points.

What is a homography Matrix?

The homography matrix is a 3x3 matrix but with 8 DoF (degrees of freedom) as it is estimated up to a scale. It is generally normalized (see also 1) with h_33 = 1 or h_11^2 + h_12^2 + h_13^2 + h_21^2 + h_22^2 + h_23^2 + h_31^2 + h_32^2 + h_33^2 = 1 .

What is homography in image processing?

In the field of computer vision, any two images of the same planar surface in space are related by a homography (assuming a pinhole camera model). This has many practical applications, such as image rectification, image registration, or camera motion—rotation and translation—between two images.
