Description

get_line_of_sightget_line_of_sightGetLineOfSightGetLineOfSightGetLineOfSight computes the line of sight corresponding to a pixel (RowRowRowRowrow, ColumnColumnColumnColumncolumn) in the image. The line of sight is a (straight) line in the camera coordinate system, which is described by two points (PXPXPXPXPX,PYPYPYPYPY,PZPZPZPZPZ) and (QXQXQXQXQX,QYQYQYQYQY,QZQZQZQZQZ) on the line. The camera is described by the internal camera parameters CameraParamCameraParamCameraParamCameraParamcameraParam (see Calibration for details). If a pinhole camera is used, the second point lies on the focal plane, i.e., for frame cameras, the output parameter QZQZQZQZQZ is equivalent to the focal length of the camera, whereas for linescan cameras, QZQZQZQZQZ also depends on the motion of the camera with respect to the object. The equation of the line of sight is given by

The advantage of representing the line of sight as two points is that it is easier to transform the line in 3D. To do so, all that is necessary is to apply the operator affine_trans_point_3daffine_trans_point_3dAffineTransPoint3dAffineTransPoint3dAffineTransPoint3d to the two points.
