Passive ranging to known planar point sets

An algorithm is presented which directly computes the 3-D coordinates of the vertices of a quadrangle relative to the camera frame. This method is extended to determine the camera's exterior orientation in a world coordinate system. A shape restoration procedure is designed to reduce the effects of noise and thereby improve the accuracy of the algorithm.
