Abstract:<p>Concerning the Perspective 3-Point (P3P) Problem, Grunert's system of three quadratic equations has a repeated solution if and only if the cubic polynomial introduced by Finsterwalder has a repeated root. This polynomial is shown to be equivalent to a particularly simple cubic polynomial with complex coefficients that provides surprising geometric insight into the P3P problem. In particular, (1) its discriminant can be written using the formula for the standard deltoid, and (2) this discriminant vanis… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
