Abstract
In the general case, a trilinear relationship between three perspective views is shown to exist. The trilinearity result is shown to be of much practical use in visual recognition by alignment — yielding a direct method superior to the conventional epipolar line intersection method. The proof of the central result may be of further interest as it demonstrates certain regularities across homographies of the plane.
