In this paper, we present a new algorithm for the calibration of a camera and the recovery of 3D scene structure up to a scale from image sequences using known angles between lines in the scene. The proposed method computes the intrinsic parameters of the camera using the invariance of angles under the similarity transformation. Specifically, we recover the matrix that is the homography between the projective structure and the Euclidean structure using angles. Since this matrix is a unique one

Experimental results o n the synthetic and real images demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed algorithm. Reconstruction by Homography Matrix The process of projection of a point in 3-D to the image plane can be expressed as a linear matrix
