Nomenclature

In this section nomenclature commonly used in artificial vision are reported.

$\mathbf{K}$
Matrix of Intrinsic Parameters (see eq. (9.8)), and sometimes it is referred as $\mathbf{A}$;
$\mathbf{R}$
Rotation Matrix (see eq. (9.22));
$\mathbf{E}$
Essential Matrix (see eq. (10.43));
$\mathbf{F}$
Fundamental Matrix (see eq. (10.47));
$\mathbf{P}$
Camera Matrix (see eq. (9.25));
$\boldsymbol\Pi$
Permutation Matrix (see eq. (A.3));
$k_{u},k_{v}$
Horizontal and Vertical focal lenghts in pixel dimension (see eq. (9.5));
$k_{\gamma}$
Skew Factor, rarely used;
$W,H$
