I have the following:
cameraMatrix (intrinsic parameters), distortionCoefficients, and 4 detected points of a Rect. In world coordinate system these 4 points all have z-coord of 0 (Rect lays on the ground). I know the proportion of the rect in world coordinates (width and height).
 
I know that homography can be used to relate pixel coordinates of same plane in two different images. 
 
I want to generate depth information of camera in relation to this plane (maybe out of homographyMat ?). So some information like: cameraHeight above ground (resp. relative camera position to the plane) and the angle/angles between optical camera axis and axis perpendicular to the plane.
 
Is this possible?

  • "world" coords don't exist here. it's all relative to the camera
  • a homography gives you new coords for a known object in another image, not the camera pose, imho, you need solvePnP() here instead
  • maybe this tutorial or this one helps ?
