%
%[omckk,Tckk,Rckk] = compute_extrinsic_init(x_kk,X_kk,fc,cc,kc,alpha_c)
%
%Computes the extrinsic parameters attached to a 3D structure X_kk given its projection
%on the image plane x_kk and the intrinsic camera parameters fc, cc and kc.
%Works with planar and non-planar structures.
%
%INPUT: x_kk: Feature locations on the images
%       X_kk: Corresponding grid coordinates
%       fc: Camera focal length
%       cc: Principal point coordinates
%       kc: Distortion coefficients
%       alpha_c: Skew coefficient
%
%OUTPUT: omckk: 3D rotation vector attached to the grid positions in space
%        Tckk: 3D translation vector attached to the grid positions in space
%        Rckk: 3D rotation matrices corresponding to the omc vectors
%
%Method: Computes the normalized point coordinates, then computes the 3D pose
%
%Important functions called within that program:
%
%normalize: Computes the normalize image point coordinates.
%
%pose3D: Computes the 3D pose of the structure given the normalized image projection.
%
%project_points.m: Computes the 2D image projections of a set of 3D points
