Abstract

The present invention is embodied in a system and method for rectifying two dimensional images of three dimensional (3D) objects for stereo vision processing. In general, the system and method of the present invention computes 2D projective transforms or homographies derived from specialized projective and affine transforms or components. The affine transform is comprised of a first transform and an optional second transform for image rectification. During image rectification of the present invention, optimization techniques are used for reducing the distortion.
