%compute_homography
%
%[H,Hnorm,inv_Hnorm] = compute_homography(m,M)
%
%Computes the planar homography between the point coordinates on the plane (M) and the image
%point coordinates (m).
%
%INPUT: m: homogeneous coordinates in the image plane (3xN matrix)
%       M: homogeneous coordinates in the plane in 3D (3xN matrix)
%
%OUTPUT: H: Homography matrix (3x3 homogeneous matrix)
%        Hnorm: Normalization matrix used on the points before homography computation
%               (useful for numerical stability is points in pixel coordinates)
%        inv_Hnorm: The inverse of Hnorm
%
%Definition: m ~ H*M where "~" means equal up to a non zero scalar factor.
%
%Method: First computes an initial guess for the homography through quasi-linear method.
%        Then, if the total number of points is larger than 4, optimize the solution by minimizing
%        the reprojection error (in the least squares sense).
%
%
%Important functions called within that program:
%
%comp_distortion_oulu: Undistorts pixel coordinates.
%
%compute_homography.m: Computes the planar homography between points on the grid in 3D, and the image plane.
%
%project_points.m: Computes the 2D image projections of a set of 3D points, and also returns te Jacobian
%                  matrix (derivative with respect to the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters).
%                  This function is called within the minimization loop.
