Figure 3: Transformation pixel image to normalized image 
images. The rotation M about the X-axis influences the 
nonquadratic shape when computing the normalized images. 
The normalized rotation matrix Ry is a multiplication of 
two rotation matrices: the rotation from pixel image to true 
vertical position and the rotation from true vertical to nor- 
malized position. 
Ry = RgRT (6) 
The Ry is an orthogonal rotation matrix which transforms 
the pixel image to the normalized image. Since in Eq.(6) 
RT is the transposed rotation matrix of exterior orientation 
elements, the Ry matrix must be computed for both images 
in stereo. We may use one of two transformations from pixel 
image to normalized image: transformation using collinear- 
ity condition or projective transformation. 
3.2.1 Transformation using collinearity The co- 
llinearity condition equations can be used for the transfor- 
mation of the pixel image to normalized image. The trans- 
formation is represented in the following equation and is 
illustrated in Fig. 3.

where 711 - - - 733 are the elements of the Ry rotation matrix. 
3.2.2 Projective transformation The projective 
transformation can be applied since both pixel image and 
normalized image are planar.

When performing the transformation pixel image to nor- 
malized image, the quadratic tesselation of the pixel image 
results in nonquadratic tesselation of the normalized image. 
In order to avoid interpolation into quadratic tesselation, it 
is recommended to project the tesselation of the normalized 
image back to the pixel image (see also Fig. 3). The co- 
efficients for backward projection are obtained in the same 
fashion by RT, if the focal lengths of the pixel and normal- 
ized image are the same (fp = fw).

For the more general case of different focal lengths (fp 
fn), the backward projection is obtained by inverting Ry 
because Ry" # RY. 
3.2.3 Resampling After applying a geometric trans- 
formation from the normalized image to pixel image, the 
problem now is to determine the gray value of the new pixel 
location in the normalized image, because the projected po- 
sition in the pixel image is not identical to the center of the 
pixel. Therefore, gray values must be interpolated. This 
procedure is usually referred to as resampling. Several in- 
terpolation methods may be used. 
e zero-order interpolation: the gray value of the nearest 
neighbor is chosen. This is identical to rounding the 
projected position to the integer, corresponding to the 
tesselation of the pixel image system. This simplest 
process may lead to unacceptable blurring effects. 
e bilinear interpolation: the gray values of the four sur- 
rounding pixels contribute to the gray value of the 
projected point depending on the distance between the 
projected and four neighboring pixels. 
3.3 Normalized image 
The procedure discussed in the previous section establishes 
the transformation between pixel image and normalized im- 
age. The distortion parameters are determined during cam- 
era calibration. When resampling the gray values for the 
normalized image, we also apply the correction. Thus, the 
computation of the normalized image proceeds in four steps 
(see Fig. 4). 
T,: Transformation between pixel image and original pho- 
tograph (diapositive). The transformation parameters are 
determined during camera calibration. Common references 
for these transformation parameters are fiducial marks, re- 
seau points, and distinct ground features.
