I have the 3D coordinates of 4 coplanar points of my target in the object coordinate system.I also have their the 2D coordinates in every frame of a video.I have also calculated the intrinsic parameters (M) for the camera, the R (rotation) and t (translation) matrices between the object coordinate system and the camera coordinate system using solvepnp(). I have read from here the complete process,which is very clear.It is also similar to the process I followed.Therefore I wanted to use the same equation

s [u v 1]T = M ( R [X Y Z]T + t)

for calculating my 3D coordinates but I have no constant as the link explains for calculating s.My target rotates about the x axis in the OpenCV coordinate system.My questions are -

  1. Can anyone suggest me a way to find s? Is it definitely mandatory for this calculation or can i use s=1?
  2. Is there any other methods for calculating the 3d point with what parameters I have?

I'm not completely sure I understand your precise problem, but have you researched findHomography() and perspectiveTransform()? http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/features2d/feature_homography/feature_homography.html

From one plane to another requires one pose; http://dsp.stackexchange.com/questions/1484/how-to-compute-camera-pose-from-homography-matrix

to a 3D plane requires at least two poses. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7836134/get-3d-coord-from-2d-image-pixel-if-we-know-extrinsic-and-intrinsic-parameters/10750648#10750648

Thanks for the answer. I have updated my question. And to answer your other question - yes, i have used findHomography() to find the 2d image points to give as input to solvepnp().
