Abstract
This paper describes a method for determining the attitude of a flat object in the space on the basis of the images taken with two cameras. The algorithm reduces the correspondence problem to the match of the zero-curvature points (that are perspective invariants) on the conjugated epipolar lines. The algorithm can solve the stereo problem even if the ordering constraint is not satisfied (i.e. in the case of an object lying in the so-called “ambiguous” zone). The gained precision is about 99%
