Segmenting Epipolar Line

Identifying feature correspondence between two images is a fundamental procedure in three-dimensional computer vision. Usually the feature search space is confined by the epipolar line. Using the cheirality constraint, this paper finds that the feature search space can be restrained to one of two or three segments of the epipolar line that are defined by the epipole and a so-called virtual infinity point.
