All Implemented Interfaces:

P3PLineDistance

public class P3PFinsterwalder
extends Object
implements P3PLineDistance

Solves for the 3 unknown distances between camera center and 3 observed points by finding a root of a cubic polynomial and the roots of two quadratic polynomials. Proposed by Finsterwalder in 1903, this implementation is based off the discussion in [1]. There are up to four solutions.

See P3PLineDistance for a more detailed problem description.
