A Unified Formula for Affine Transformations between Calibrated Cameras
Abstract
In this technical note, we derive a closed-form expression for the affine transformation mapping local image patches between two calibrated views. We show that the transformation is a function of the relative camera pose, the image coordinates, and the local surface normal.
