EGT for multiple view geometry and visual servoing - Robotics and vision with pinhole and panoramics cameras

Abstract

The Epipolar Geometry Toolbox (EGT) for MATLAB is a software package targeted to research and education in computer vision and robotics visual servoing. It provides the user with a wide set of functions for designing multicamera systems for both pinhole and panoramic cameras. Functions include camera placement and visualization, computation, and estimation of epipolar geometry entities. The compatibility of EGT with the Robotics Toolbox enables users to address general vision-based control issues. Two applications of EGT to visual servoing tasks are examined in this article. Several epipolar geometry estimation algorithms have been implemented.
