# Chapter 5.  Projective Reconstruction (two weeks ?)

| # | Topic  | Reading | Keywords |
|---|---------------|-------------------|-----------------------------|
| 17 | [Relative Pose]() | Ma 2004:Ch 5.1 | Triangulation. Relative Pose. Essential Matrix. |
| 18 | [Eight-point algorithm]() | Ma 2004:Ch 5.2 | Calculate Essential Matrix |

| 21 | [Planar Scenes]()| Ma 2004:Ch 5.3 | |
| 22 | [Epipolar Geometry]()| Ma 2004:Ch 5.1-3 | |

1.  Note from 2021:
    [Study Technique]() should probably be done earlier in the semester
    - In 2022 we have had fragments earlier, but this is still the first deep dive.
3.  [Relative Pose]() is a little messy.  It serves covers two things.
    - triangulation is poorly covered in the textbook and the notes, but the students
      need a recap from basic calculus
    - the essential matrix is preparation for the next session.
4.  Note from 2021: Generally, the preliminary steps of the exploratory exercises should have been
    premade, to save time for the students.
5.  Note from 2021: Algorithm implementation is difficult and require sample solutions
6.  Examples with complete calculations
