Abstract

Video analysis often requires mapping of activity or object locations from image coordinates to ground plane coordinates. This process is termed Plane Rectification. In this paper we propose a geometric method to find plane rectification using the plane's vanishing line and the vertical vanishing point. Unlike common methods that provide sophisticated algebraic solutions and non-linear optimizations, the proposed approach is intuitive and simple to implement while providing a geometric explanation and interpretation of the plane rectification. We show that the proposed approach provides stable and accurate solutions also in the presence of noise.
