Recovering epipolar direction from two affine views of a planar object

The mainstream approach to estimate epipolar geometry from two views requires matching the projections of at least 4 non-coplanar points in the scene, assuming a full projective camera model. Our work deviates from this in three respects: affine camera, planar scene and active contour tracking instead of point matching. Using results in Projective Geometry, we prove that the affine epipolar direction can be recovered provided camera motion is free of cyclorotation. A setup consisting of a Sta
