If the relationship between the space and the image plane is assumed to be linear, the relationship can be expressed in terms of a transfor-mation matrix and the matrix is often identified by regression. In this paper, we show that the space-to-image relation-ship in a camera can be modeled by a simple neural network. Unlike most other cases employing neural networks, the structure of the network is optimized so as for each link between neurons to have a physical meaning. This makes it possible to effectively initialize link weights and quickly train the network.展开更多
