Title
How to Catch a Crook
Abstract
This paper deals with a problem in computer vision: how to recover the motion of a rigid rod, or "crook," thrown in the air towards an observer, from a sequence of images acquired by a pinhole camera. Polynomial equations describing the motion are established, and techniques from algebraic geometry are used to show that in general a sequence of five images is sufficient for the recovery of motion of the rod in accordance with physical laws. Examples are worked out in detail to illustrate our results.
