Example of how to solve problems using the Perspective-N-Point (PnP) family of solvers in BoofCV. For the PnP problem you have N points with known 3D locations and 2D image coordinates and the goal is to solve camera's 6DOF pose. The minimum number of points to solve this problem is 3, with at least one additional point to resolve ambiguities between the solutions. With 4 or more points a unique solution can be found. PnP solvers are commonly used in visual odometry and other SFM problems.

Example Code:

Concepts:

  • 3D Perspective
  • Perspective-N-Point (PnP)
