stereoRectifyUncalibrated() gives bad result

I am using cv::stereoRectifyUncalibrated() to rectify two images but I am getting pretty bad results including lots of shearing effects. The steps I am following:

  1. SURF to detect and match keypoints
  2. cv::findFundamentalMat() to compute fundamental matrix
  3. cv::stereoRectifyUncalibrated() to get homography matrix H1 and H2
  4. cv::warpPerspective() to get the rectified images

I want to use the rectified images for disparity. But can't use due to the bad results of rectification. My questions:

  1. Is it the fundamental matrix causing the problem?
  2. or the warpPerspective() transform responsible for this?
  3. or something else I need take care of?

Following is my code and sample images of results. I am new to opencv and appreciate any help.

    #include <iostream>
    #include <stdio.h>
#include "opencv2/core.hpp"
#include "opencv2/features2d.hpp"
#include "opencv2/xfeatures2d.hpp"
#include "opencv2/highgui.hpp"
#include "opencv2/imgproc.hpp"
#include "opencv2/calib3d.hpp"
#include "opencv2/core/affine.hpp"

using namespace cv;
using namespace cv::xfeatures2d;


int main()
{
    //Loading the stereo images
    Mat leftImage = imread("left.jpg", CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);
    Mat rightImage = imread("right.jpg", CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR);

    //checking if image file succesfully opened 
    if (!leftImage.data || !rightImage.data)
    {
        std::cout << " --(!) Error reading images " << std::endl; return -1;
    }

    /*showing the input stereo images
    namedWindow("Left image original", WINDOW_FREERATIO);
    namedWindow("Right image original", WINDOW_FREERATIO);
    imshow("Left image original", leftImage);
    imshow("Right image original", rightImage);
    */

    Ptr<SURF> detector = SURF::create(minHessian);      //here detector is a pointer which points to SURF type object
                                                        //create is also a pointer which points to SURF type object
    std::vector<KeyPoint> keypointsLeft, keypointsRight;        //vectors storing keypoints of two images

Hi, have you figure it out? I'm facing the same problem, even if my matches are excellent I got bad rectification.
