Computation of a 3D structure: some sample code

http://cs.gmu.edu/~kosecka/examples-code/compute3DStructure.m
Some sample code for traingulating points in matlab on the link above.

% [X,lambda] = compute3DStructure(p, q, R, T)
% p - first image coordinates
% q - second image  coordinates
% R, T - displacement between the views
% X - 3D coordinates of the points with respect to 1st and 2nd view
% lambda - scales with respect to the first view (lambda x = X)

% The basic linear triangulation algorithm
% for recovering the depth of a point given the projection onto
% two images and the relative pose of the cameras,
% as described in Chapter 5, "An introduction to 3-D Vision"
