Is there a way to compute a RANSAC based affine transformation?

I know of findHomography(), but that computes all kinds of perspective transformations. I'd like to restrict the degrees of freedom to translation, rotation and scale.

There is a method estimateRigidTransform in the video module, but it's not RANSAC based.

Am I missing something?

Or do I have to implement it on my own?

I solved this problem by first finding a homography and then estimating the rigid transform using only the homography's inlier matches.

That's dangerous... You might get wrong inliers e.g. if you have a degenerated perspective transformation that maps all points to infinity your inlier criterion is basically useless. You must check the homography for sanity (which is non-trivial in practice).

I know. These degenerated transformations are annoying. But they usually occur in image pairs that don't match anyway. Do you have a better solution?

Afaik this doesn't exist, so you need to implement it on your own.

Yes it does :

    # Compute a rigid transformation (without depth, only scale + rotation + translation)
    transformation_rigid_matrix, rigid_mask = cv2.estimateAffinePartial2D(src_pts, dst_pts)

It is RANSAC based, as you can see there : https://docs.opencv.org/4.0.0/d9/d0c/...

estimateAffinePartial2D (   
    InputArray  from,
    InputArray  to,
    OutputArray     inliers = noArray(),
    int     method = RANSAC,
    double  ransacReprojThreshold = 3,
    size_t  maxIters = 2000,
    double  confidence = 0.99,
    size_t  refineIters = 10 
)

How to get the scale factor from Mx,i = cv2.estimateAffinePartial2D(src_pts, dst_pts)? scale = np.sqrt((Mx[0,1] * Mx[0,1]) + (Mx[0,0] * Mx[0,0])) right?
