AUTOMATIC RECTIFICATION OF PERSPECTIVE DISTORTION FROM A SINGLE IMAGE USING PLANE HOMOGRAPHY

Perspective distortion occurs due to the perspective projection of 3D scene on a 2D surface. Correcting the distortion of a single image without losing any desired information is one of the challenging task in the field of Computer Vision. We consider the problem of estimating perspective distortion from a single still image of an unstructured environment and to make perspective correction which is both quantitatively accurate as well as visually pleasing. Corners are detected based on the orientation of the image. A method based on plane homography and transformation is used to make perspective correction. The algorithm infers frontier information directly from the images, without any reference objects or prior knowledge of the camera parameters. The frontiers are detected using geometric context based segmentation. The goal of this paper is to present a framework providing fully automatic and fast perspective correction.
