Function Documentation

template<class T >

double cross_ratio	(	vgl_point_2d< T >const &	p1,
		vgl_point_2d< T >const &	p2,
		vgl_point_2d< T >const &	p3,
		vgl_point_2d< T >const &	p4
	)

cross ratio of four collinear points.

This number is projectively invariant, and it is the coordinate of p4 in the reference frame where p2 is the origin (coordinate 0), p3 is the unity (coordinate 1) and p1 is the point at infinity. This cross ratio is often denoted as ((p1, p2; p3, p4)) (which also equals ((p3, p4; p1, p2)) or ((p2, p1; p4, p3)) or ((p4, p3; p2, p1)) ) and is calculated as

                        p1 - p3   p2 - p3      (p1-p3)(p2-p4)
                        ------- : --------  =  --------------
                        p1 - p4   p2 - p4      (p1-p4)(p2-p3)
   

If three of the given points coincide, the cross ratio is not defined.

In this implementation, a least-squares result is calculated when the points are not exactly collinear.
