Abstract. It is well known that given four point correspondences under
perspectivity, we uniquely can determine a projectively invariant refer­
ence frame for planar scenes.
We extend this result to all semi­differential data correspondences hav­
ing enough degrees of freedom to perform resection. For example, three
points together with first and second curve derivatives in one of them
suffice for unique frame determination. The coordinates of points in the
scene with respect to this reference frame constitute a complete system of
invariants. Rather than solving the Lie prolongations, we arrive at these
results by exhaustively exploiting all available relationships between the
given semi--differential data in two perspective views.
The generalization of the method to the 3D projective group is straight­
forward, thus covering the case of nonplanar scenes under stereo as well.
